1 c. sugar
8 tbsp. Crisco shortening
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 3/4 c. flour

Cream sugar, shortening, add eggs one at a time beating well. Add dry ingredients gradually, beating after each addition, add vanilla. Cover and chill (I usually wrap my dough in Cling wrap).

Pinch off enough dough for the size cookie desired then roll in flour and press onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
