Ingredients
-
1 cup butter flavor shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon real vanilla
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar.
Take the mixer out and, with a wooden spoon, add the egg, whipping cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined (it will look a bit \"stiff\"), but do not whip the cream too much.
In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
Add half the dry mixture at a time to the wet mixture. Only mix until it is thoroughly mixed together. Dough will seem sticky.
Roll dough into 1\" to 1-1/4\" balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Flatten to 1/3\" thick with the flat bottom of a drinking glass. They do not spread much when baking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Take the cookies out of the oven and move immediately to a wire rack to cool. Frost and decorate as desired.
