Cooking instruction summary:
FOR THE COOKIES: Preheat oven to 350*F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream shortening, butter & sugar until fluffy. Add egg & extracts. Mix together.Combine baking powder, salt & flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add to wet mixture until well blended.Using a cookie scoop (I use a #50 scoop about 1 1/2 Tbsp per scoop) scoop dough balls. For best cookie results: Lightly roll dough balls in hands, place on parchment lined baking sheet & press the top of the cookie halfway down. This creates the best shape & flat top to spread frosting on compared to just scooping & placing the dough on the baking sheets. Refer to the picture provided.Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges of the cookies are set. Allow cookies to cool after baking. FOR THE FROSTING: In a bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter until fluffy. Add vanilla & milk. Blend lightly. Add powdered sugar a cup at a time, mixing between additions. The texture should be solid, yet soft (not stiff & dry; if it's dry, add an extra tsp or so of milk.)Frost cookies & top with sprinkles, sugar crystals or other desired toppings.
