Easter Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

3 1/3 cups (825 mL) Robin Hood® All Purpose Flour
1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1 cup (250 mL) Crisco® All Vegetable Shortening
1 1/4 cups (300 mL) sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
Coloured sugar, icing, and candies for decorating

Directions:

1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
2. Cream shortening and sugar together on medium speed of electric mixer until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
3. Stir in flour mixture. Mix well. Form dough into 2 balls. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill about 3 hours for easy handling.
4. Roll dough out, one ball at a time, on a floured surface to 1/8" (3 mm) thickness. Cut into desired shapes like eggs and bunnies with floured cookie cutters. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle on coloured sugar before baking or leave plain and decorate later.
5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 7-10 minutes, or until light golden. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to rack and cool completely.
6. Decorate attractively with icing and candies.
