These refrigerator cookies freeze well for several months.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup colored sugar for decoration
Directions
Step 1
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Stir together shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a separate large bowl. Mix in flour mixture with your hands until well blended.
Step 3
Divide dough into 3 parts; shape each part into a cylinder, 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 7 inches long. Roll cylinders in colored sugar. Chill, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours to overnight.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
Step 5
Cut cylinders into 1/4-inch slices and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
You can use finely chopped nuts instead of colored sugar.
