Merry Christmas Cookies

• 1/3 c shortening
• 1/3 c sugar
• 1 egg
• 2/3 c honey
• 1 t lemon flavor
• 2 3/4 c flour
• 1 t salt
• 1 t baking soda
• Icing:
• almond flavoring to taste (1-2 tsp, usually)

• sprinkles for decor!

1. Mix together shortening and sugar
2. Add in egg, honey and lemon flavor
3. Once the above is combined and smooth, add in flour, salt and baking soda
4. cover, place in fridge for 2-3 hours
5. roll out to 1/4" dough cut shapes
6. bake 375 degrees
7. 8-10 minutes
8. Ice with almond flavoring, milk and powdered sugar frosting - for a double recipe of cookies, I usually use one bag of powdered sugar combined with just enough milk to make the icing smooth (not too drippy!)
