Xmas Stars
B. Lowe from Eleanor

Original Version

1 cup shortening (notes ½ cup butter is good)
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 ¾ cup flour

Cream shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs, salt, and flavoring. Stir in flour and blend. Chill. (overnite). Roll small portions of dough on floured board to 1/8 inch or ¼ inc cut in small shapes. Ungreased cookie sheet, bake 375 degrees 8 to 10 minutes. If hard to handle – let stand for five minutes.

Frost with 1 ½ cup confectioners sugar, 2 tab. Cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

My Edits...
I used butter instead of shortening - but 3/4 cup.
For the Frosting - instead of cream you could use milk - this is that thin runny frosting. If you want it thicker change out cream for shortening and blend with the vanilla.

Enjoy!
