1/2 c. shortening
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Cream shortening and sugar well. Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Mix all until creamy. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, sifted together. Mix into creamed mixture a little at a time to make a stiff dough. Divide dough into two parts. Roll out real thin, cut in rounds with a small cutter. Bake about 12-15 minutes at 350-400 degrees. Makes about 7 dozen.
