1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon  Salt
1 cup Shortening
1 cup Sugar
1 egg, beaten well
2 tablespoons Pet Milk
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Confectioner’s Sugar

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.  Cream shortening and sugar together, mixing well.  Stir in egg, milk and vanilla.  Roll dough in plastic wrap and chill overnight.

Rollout dough and cut with a heart cookie cutter. Every cookie needs a top and bottom. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  When cool assemble the cookies. Put a teaspoon of jelly on the bottom of a cookie, and then cover with another cookie.  Shower with Confectioner’s Sugar.

• 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup(s) white whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1 cup(s) sugar
• 1/2 cup(s) trans fat-free vegetable oil spread (60% to 70% oil)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Directions

• 1. On sheet of waxed paper, stir together flours, baking powder, and salt.
• 2. In large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat sugar and vegetable oil spread until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light and creamy, about 3 minutes, occasionally scraping side of bowl with rubber spatula. Reduce speed to low; beat in egg and vanilla, then beat in flour mixture just until blended.
• 3. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or until dough is firm enough to roll.
• 4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll 1 piece of dough 1/8 inch thick. With 2-inch cookie cutters, cut out as many cookies as possible; wrap and refrigerate trimmings. With lightly floured spatula, place cookies, 1 inch apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet.
• 5. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. With thin metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and trimmings.Serving size = 1 cookie - Calories -35 - Total Fat 1g - Total Carbs - 5 g - Cholesterol - 3mg
