Combine four, sugar and baking powder. Add butter or shortening. Mix until crumbly. Drop in eggs, including shells. Knead birdseed into dough. Cover with wet towel and refrigerate 4 hours.

Personal Notes:
We hang these on our trees during the winter. The birds can take the raffia/twine for their nests once they eaten their cookies.
