INGREDIENTS

2 cups Shortening
3 cups Sugar
4 Eggs
4 teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 cup milk
-- Dry Mix --
5 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder ; (Alum-Free)
-- Royal Icing --
1 12-oz can Meringue Powder
Water ; as required

Dozen

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the ingredients

Refridgerate overnight or freeze for a few hours so the dough is hard enough to roll.

Preheat Oven to 425''

Roll out on flour and cut out the shapes

Bake at 425 for 5 minutes. (I actually bake 4 minutes and spin my tray and then do another 3 minutes since my oven doesn''t cook evenly).

Let cookies cool completely

For the Royal Icing, I buy the Meringue Powder at Michael's or a Baking Store and the amount water needed in on the can. Add Wilton Colors (MIchael's) or Natural Food Coloring.

To Glaze mix each color in a plastic, disposable cup and paint the icing/glaze on with children't paint brushes. The thicker the glaze, the less it will run.

Allow 4-5 hours for the cookies to dry before stacking or bagging in Ziplocks.

NOTES

20 minutes to make dough, 1 hour to bake a few dozen and and hour to glaze. 2 day project
