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

Mix dry ingredients, cut in shortening, then add well beaten eggs, then add vanilla. Knead lightly on floured board and divide. Roll out about 1/8" thick. Cut with cookie cutter and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Brush tops with melted butter. Bake in a hot, 450 degree oven for 10 minutes. Ovens vary so may take less time. My children and grandchildren learned on this recipe.
