Directions:
Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat. Add salt, either baking powder or soda to the flour and sift into mixture alternately with the milk. Continue beating and adding flour to form ball as for biscuits. With your hand, mix a portion with more flour on floured board until it can be rolled out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out cookies. Place on cookie sheet with spatula and bake 8 or 10 minutes to a delicate brown. Do not overbake. If you have animal cookie cutters for a children's party, let the children help cut them out. Ice and let the children decorate with colored sugar, small candies, or chopped nuts.
