Original Recipe Yield 2 - 3 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter flavored shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Mix together the shortening, egg, and confectioners' sugar. Stir in vanilla, cream of tartar, salt, baking soda and flour. Mix well.
  2. Roll dough into 1 inch in diameter balls. Place on cookie sheet. Press down with a glass bottom dipped in sugar. ( I have also used cookie stamps dipped into sugar.)
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 10 minutes or just until edges are turning golden. Let cool slightly before removing from the cookie sheet.
