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
Method
- 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.
