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.

The puppies in the center of the tray are Spice Cut Outs. The bows were made with a mini
cookie cutter. I "painted" them with red food coloring diluted with a few drops of water, then
baked. "Glue" the bow to the dog with frosting. Nose, eyes & ears were piped on using Shiny
Cookie Icing.
