2 eggs well beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
3 1/2 cups flour

Chill dough for 2 hours. Roll out with flour and cut to desired shapes. Place on greased cookie sheet.Bake at 350 degrees until light brown (8-10 min).

Cream Cheese Frosting recipe

1 cube butter
1 tsp vanilla
