This is the recipe my mom used when I was growing up, we would bake a bunch of heart shaped cookies on Valentine's Day, make plates for our neighbors, and do the RING and RUN delivery. Those were some great memories, I still even have a couple of the Charlie Brown cookie cutters we used.
1 cup shortening
4 cups flour
½ cup milk (start with ¼ cup – watch the texture)
2 tsp Baking soda
2 eggs (start with 1 egg – watch the texture)
1 ½ cups sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp almond extract (best) or 1 tsp vanilla
Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness (can be a bit thicker) and cut into desired shapes Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Decorate or frost as desired.
