½ c. shortening (butter)
1 c. Sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. almond or vanilla extract
2 tsp. baking powder
3 ½ c. flour

Buttercream Icing
½ c. solid vegetable shortening

Directions:
Mix together well and chill dough. Roll out in powdered sugar (roll thin). Cut out shapes. Bake at 375º for 8 minutes. Once cooled, frost and decorate as desired.

Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Re-whip before using.
