Directions: |
Directions:Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Mix the shortening with the sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture alternately with milk. Unless you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, you need to add the last two cups of flour by hand.
Refrigerate the dough until it's easy to handle (about an hour.)
Preheat oven to 400º. Roll out 1/3 of the dough between two pieces of waxed paper until 1/4 " thick. Keep the rest of the dough in the refrigerator.
Cut the cookies into desired shapes.
