Cookie press cookies



1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar or a little less
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsps. vanilla
4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup milk
lemon juice from 2 lemons

Cream shortening and sugar.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Add well-beaten eggs, milk and vanilla.  Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and slat.  Then add to creamed mixture.  Put dough into a cookie press and press cookies on baking sheets.  I usually add sprinkles to the cookies to decorate them.  You can use a little egg white on the cookies first to help the sprinkles stick, but it is fine to omit the egg white too.  Bake 8 minutes in a 350 degrees oven.
