These cookies are so cute and tasty - your kids will just gobble them up! They're quick to make, and the dough freezes well, so they're perfect for school or church events. I like to roll them in different colors of sugar or add food coloring to brighten them up.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening shopping list
- 2 cups sugar shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1 cup oil shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- 5 cups flour shopping list
- 2 teaspoons baking soda shopping list
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar shopping list
How to make it
- Cream together the shortening, the sugar, eggs, oil, salt and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and the cream of tartar.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well mixed.
- Roll into 1-inch balls (about the size of a marble or a walnut), and shape with a cookie cutter or by hand into crescent moons and stars.
- Bake at 350ยบ for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle or roll in colored sugar.
- (Notes: If adding food coloring, add it to the wet ingredients before mixing. Also, it is easier to freeze the cookies as balls rather than as shapes. They will keep in the freezer for about two months.)
