From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. I found this
recipe in a 2005 Good Housekeeping magazine.
Cream until light & creamy (~3minutes):
1/2 c butter or margarine, softened
1/2 c crisco
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
Add:
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Add:
3 1/4 c flour
1/2 tsp b. soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp b.powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
Mix until blended.
Divide dough in half.
Wrap in plastic wrap & freeze for at least an hour.
Roll dough on a floured surface.
Cut with cookie cutters.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheets or stones.
Bake @ 350 for 10 minutes or lightly browned.
Cool on a wire rack.
Frosting optional.
Cut out tip from Stephanie: Take a ball
of dough & roll it out between 2 sheets
of floured plastic wrap. Put your hand
under plastic wrap & push cut out. Flip
onto other hand.
