PASTRY COOKIES 2 ¼ cups white flour ½ teaspoon cream tartar ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup vegetable shortening ½ cup butter ½ cup powdered sugar 1 egg, well beaten 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla In a large bowl, chop all ingredients together except the vanilla and egg with a pastry blender or two knives crisscrossed until well blended. Add egg and vanilla and blend with a fork until the dough clings together. Divide pastry and roll into one inch balls and place one inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 375 F for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove pastry balls from the oven and roll in powdered sugar while still warm. After they have cooled, roll them in powdered sugar once again. |
