Sparkly Sugar Cookies

4 c Cake flour; sifted

2 1/2 ts Baking powder

1/2 ts Salt

2/3 c Vegetable shortening

1 1/2 c Sugar

2 Eggs

1 ts Vanilla

4 ts Milk

Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Mix shortening, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Stir in flour alternately with milk. Refrigerate 2 hours or until easy to handle. Roll 1/8" thick on floured board and cut as desired. Place on ungreased cookie sheets (insulated cookie sheets work best so they don`t brown too much on the edges). Bake at 375 for 9 to 11 minutes. Frost when cool with icing made from powdered sugar and milk and decorate as desired. Or you can sprinkle the cookies with colored sugar or sprinkles before baking. -----
