The Ultimate Santa Cookies



In this case, the cutter is as important as the recipe. It wouldn't be the same without these vintage cookie cutters. They are sold as Aunt Chick's Cookie Cutters now, (back in the day our family purchased them through Maid of Scandinavia in Minnesota - but I believe the company went under) and you can find them online at:

Cream together:

  • 1 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup shortening (part butter)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix in:

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour (use it all)

Roll out the dough to about 1/4" thickness and cut out desired designs.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let cool and then frost.
