INGREDIENTS

  • Decorating

    • 🍬 ⅓ cup colored decorating sugar

  • Base Ingredients

    • ⅔ cup shortening
    • 🧈 ⅔ cup unsalted butter, softened

    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place decorating sugar in a small bowl (or use several colors and separate bowls).

Beat shortening and butter until smooth and creamy, then mix in sugar until incorporated, followed by eggs one at a time. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary and mix in vanilla.

3

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl until combined. Gradually add to wet ingredients and mix until dough comes together.

4

Roll dough into walnut-sized balls, coat with sugar, and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

5

Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes until lightly browned on the bottoms, switching racks halfway through. Cool on wire racks.
