I couldn't roll out the dough after I chilled it.

I followed advice about creaming together teh shortening and sugar first, then adding eggs and vanilla. I then, slowly mixed in the dry combination of flour, baking powder, and salt. This ended up terrific! I have perfect cookies.

Followed advice of others and creamed sugar and shortening first, added dry later. Used exact amounts of flour. Rolled like a dream and tasted like the bakery cookies we get at Publix. Glaze was good, too, and it dried well.

I made the cookies and used a different frosting recipe. As for the cookies, they proved difficult to roll and cut. I ended up doing one cut-out cookie at a time. I made two half batches, one with vanilla and the other I substituted the vanilla for anise. I also added 4 drops of red food coloring to have pink cookies for Valentine's Day. Both cookies had a good flavor and made great VD cookies!
