Here’s a nice Chrismasy recipe from Favorite Recipes of America.
Cream shortening; gradually add sugar, beating until smooth and creamy. Add
eggs and flavorings; beat thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients together. Add to
creamed mixture. Set oven at 400 degrees. Roll dough 1/8-inch thick on
well-floured board. Cut into star shape with cookie cutter. Place on
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes. Yield: 4 dozen cookies. (My
note: Looks really pretty with different colored icings too.)
