CA, sweet, baked, vegetarian

• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• 2 1/2 cup of flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2/4 tsp salt

Cream together in the following order: 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup shortening, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1 egg.

Next, in a separate bowl, shift together the following: 2 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon of salt.

Add theses sifted dry ingredients to the butter mix in the other bowl and blend together. Now heat your oven to 350°F.

Roll dough into 2cm balls and place on a baking sheet. You will flatten the balls with the bottom of a drinking glass that has been dipped in sugar. (You can wet the bottom of the glass with water to make it sticky.)

Bake for approximately nine minutes.
