Cupid Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (3 ounce) box raspberry Jell-O
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Using electric mixer and large bowl, combine
shortening, butter or margarine, sugar,
Jell-O, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until
very creamy, then add flour, baking powder
and salt. Dough will be extra thick, but
mix thoroughly. Roll dough into small balls.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten
each ball with the bottom of a glass covered
with sugar. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes. Do
not over-bake. Cookies should not be brown
on edges.
Makes 4 dozen.
