Classic cookie recipe
Cream together sugar, shortening and eggs.
Add the vanilla and almond extract and mix well.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Then flatten slightly. You can use the botton of a glass dipped in sugar to flatten the cookie.
Bake 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees.
* The cookies are done when the ends brown slightly.
* Don't overbake or the cookies get too hard.
* You can top the cookies with a white frosting if desired.
Store cookies in airtight container or wrap with plastic wrap.
