Ingredients

• ¾ cup butter flavored crisco - room temp
• ¾ cup butter - room temp
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 eggs - room temp
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp salt
• 5 cups flour
• Must follow order of recipe
• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup crisco (not butter flavored)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 4 cups powdered sugar (add one cup at a time, if making a double batch 8 cups = 1 bag powdered sugar)
• 5 Tbsp milk
• Food coloring (optional). If using a liquid food coloring and use really strong color, you may need to add a little more powdered sugar to the bowl.

Directions

• Mix and chill dough at least 1 hour. (Can make dough and chill for at least two days if covered in fridge.)
• Roll out & cut out (cookies puff when baking so can roll a little thin). I use the largest size ring on our fondant rolling pin.
• Bake @ 375° for 8 minutes. Bake one pan at a time.
• Transfer to cooling rack right away.
• Mix ingredients for frosting and frost cookies.
