1/2 cup all-vegetable shortening

1/2 cup margarine

1-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground mace

Icing (see recipe)

 

 

 

1. Combine the shortening and the margarine; beat for

30 seconds. Add the sugar; beat until light and

fluffy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Combine the

flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, mace,

nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to the margarine

mixture; beat well. Wrap and chill dough for 3 hours

or until it is easy to handle.

2. On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch

thickness; cut with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased

cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F about 8 minutes

or until edges are firm. Transfer cookies to wire rack

and let cool. Spoon white on icing cookies. While

white icing is still moist, drizzle with blue icing.

Makes about 60 cookies.

Icing: Beat together 3 tablespoons meringue powder,

1/3 cup water, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla, and enough sifted

powdered sugar (3 1/2 to 4 cups) to make an icing of

drizzling consistency. Remove three-fourths of the

icing to leave white. Stir in a few drops blue food

coloring to the remaining icing.
