Recipes

In a large bowl, cream vegetable shortening, sugar, egg, honey, and lemon extract until light and fluffy.

Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt; stir until well blended.

Refrigerate dough at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.

On a lightly floured board, roll dough to 1/4-inch thick; cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters.

Place 1 inch apart onto prepared cookie sheets.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light brown.

Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.

When cool, frost with Milk-Frosting and decorate as desired.

Milk Frosting:

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon extract, and enough milk to make frosting easy to spread.

Tint, if desired, with a few drops of food coloring.
