Moms Pie Crust Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer. Cut butter into tablespoon pieces; add it to the flour and butter. Use the paddle beater to cut the butter and flour together. Alternatively, this can be done by hand with a pastry blender.
• With the mixer on low speed , or while stirring the mixture with a fork, pour in the cold water. When the dough starts to clump, and before it turns into a ball, stop stirring.
• Lightly knead dough in the bowl until it forms a ball. Divide dough into two parts. Flatten each part into a disk, and chill for about 30 minutes before rolling.

Steps:

• Mix all dry in a LARGE BOWL.
• Cut shortening into dry till fine and crumbly (use your hands for this).
• Mix all wet together and add to dry. Mix with wooden spoon till dough forms. Dough will be soft.
• Roll out on well floured surface (I use equal parts flour and sugar) to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes.
• Place on lightly greased sheet and bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Do not let cookie bottoms BROWN AT ALL.
