Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup butter
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract, or more to taste
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat vegetable shortening, white sugar, 1/4 cup milk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Slowly beat flour mixture into shortening mixture to make a smooth dough.

I'm going to try this recipe with a different type of frosting. I think a chocolate frosting would be delicious.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I'm wondering if I can substitute the almond extract with something else.

I had trouble getting the cookies to spread in the oven. I think I needed to cream the butter and sugar together for longer.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.
