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

Cream sugar, shortening and eggs. Add milk, vanilla and salt. Add flour and baking powder. Beat thoroughly.

Shape into small balls and press thin with a water glass covered with a cloth. Wet cloth for each cookie. Bake 10 minutes in 400 degree oven.

When done cookies have a brown edge. Coconut or lemon flavoring are good also.
