Almond Sugar Cookies

Almond Sugar Cookie
Based off my mom’s recipe

1 egg
1 ½ c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
¼ c. shortening
½ c. sugar
1 small pkg. almond Paste
¼ c. milk
½ tbsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. salt

Cream sugar, almond paste and shortening then beat in the egg. Add vanilla, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined then roll out on a floured surface. Cut out and back at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool and frost. Makes 2 dozen.

Frosting:
½ c. Softened butter
½ c. Crisco
1 tsp. Vanilla
Powdered Sugar

Add butter, Crisco, and vanilla together. Add as 1/2c. powdered sugar at a time until you get the desired texture you want.

Tip: The more you mix the frosting the better it will be.
