Directions:
Beat eggs for 1 minute; add sugar and shortening, beat 1 minute more. Add milk and vanilla alternately with the dry ingredients. Chill the dough for an hour but can be rolled immediately. Turn out on floured surface, roll to desired thickness. Cut into different shapes. Bake in 350 degree oven until lightly browned – 8 – 10 minutes.

Frost with a butter cream frosting. Makes a generous 4 dozen.
