Christmas Trees

This is a favorite of our family. I make these every Christmas, and
other
shapes at other times of the year.

Ingredients:

1 c. shortening
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
2 and 1/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. almond extract
Green food coloring

Directions:

Cream shortening and sugar. Add unbeaten egg, sifted dry ingredients,
flavoring and coloring. Mix well. Use a cookie press to press shapes
onto a
cookie sheet. Decorate as desired. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12
minutes.
Makes 6 dozen cookies.
