Type: Dessert
Ingredients: 1 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
6 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
1 c. milk
Directions: Cream shortening, sugar and vanilla until light a fluffy. Beat in eggs. Sift flour with salt and baking powder and add alternately with milk to make a smooth dough.

Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a moderate 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or untill lightly brown. Makes about 4 dozen large cookies.
Notes:Mom noted that you could roll them out 1/8" to 1/4" before cutting. Also you can add 1/4 tsp. nutmeg for added flavor if you wish.
