Notes: From Houston Chronicle
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. Sift flour, baking
powder and salt together. Cream shortening and sugar. Beat eggs just enough
to break the yolks. Add to shortening. Add flour mixture and milk
alternately. Add vanilla. Turn dough out on lightly floured board and
knead. Roll out thin and cut with cookie cutters. Reduce heat to 350
degrees and bake on greased cookie sheets 15 minutes. Cakes will be soft if
the dough is fairly thick, crisp if rolled thin.
