I use the betty crocker one every year and it is really good but I thought maybe someone else has one out there that would be just as yummy and a bit of a change.

Appreciate your time.

Effort:  easy

Comments:  Was very easy to work with the dough.  Original recipe called for 1 1/2 c.  butter.  We tweaked just a little

3/4 c. margarine, softened

3/4 c. shortening

2 c. white granulated sugar

4 eggs

1 t. vanilla extract

5 c. all-purpose flour

2 t. baking powder

1 t. salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cream butter, shortening and sugar until smooth.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Stir in dry ingredients thoroughly.  Cover and chill for at least one hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400º.  Roll dough on floured surface to ¼” to ½”. Cut into shapes and place 1” apart on ungreased cookie sheet (I used parchment paper).

Bake 6-8 minutes (1/2” took 8 minutes).  Cool completely on wire racks.
