1 cup(s) butter flavored crisco shortening |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup(s) light corn syrup or regular pancake syrup |
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla |
3 cup(s) flour |
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda |

3. Combine 3 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add gradually to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix until well blended. Divide dough into 4 quarters. Tip: if dough is too sticky or too soft to roll then wrap each quarter of dough with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon of flour on large sheet of waxed paper. Place 1/4 of dough on floured paper. Flatted slightly with hands. Turn dough over and cover with another large sheet of waxed paper. Roll dough to 1/4 thickness. Cut out with floured cutter. Transfer to ungreased baking seet with large pancake turner. Place 2 apart. Sprinkle with granulated sugar or colored sugar crystals or leave plain to frost when cooled.
5. Bake one baking sheet at a time for 5-9 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies (bake smaller, thinner cookies closer to 5 minutes; larger cookies closer to 9 minutes). Do not overbake. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely, then frost if desired.
