¼ cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
¼ cup oil
2 egg yolks
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla flavoring
¼ cup potato starch
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
(There is no baking powder or baking soda in this recipe.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, cream together shortening, sugar and oil. Add egg yolks and vanilla flavoring, mixing well. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well to remove any lumps. For easier handling, especially on a hot or humid day, place dough in the refrigerator for a few hours before rolling out.
Lightly flour surface and rolling pin with cornstarch. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness and use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes. Place cookies on greased baking sheet. Decorate with colored sugar or sprinkles as desired. Bake 8-10 minutes. These cookies will just begin to brown around the bottom. Makes 2 dozen large or 3 dozen small cookies.
