Ingredients
3¼
cup
flour
1½
cups
sugar
⅔
cup
shortening
2
eggs
2½
tsp
double-acting baking powder
2
tbsp
milk
1
tbsp
vanilla extract
½
tsp

Instructions
In large bowl, measure in all ingredients.
With mixer at medium speed, beat until well mixed, occasionally scraping bowl.
Shape dough into a ball, wrap with waxed paper; refrigerate 2 to 3 hours until easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly grease cookie sheets.
On lightly floured surface, roll half the dough at a time, keeping rest refrigerated. For crisp cookies, roll paper thin.
For softer cookies, roll ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
With cookie cutters lightly floured, cut dough into various shapes (I used a heart, obviously).
Reroll dough trimmings and continues to cut shapes.
Place cookies ½ inch apart on greased cookie sheets.
Bake cookies for 8 minutes or until very lightly brown.
With pancake turner, remove cookies to racks; cool completely.
