CAPABLE CHRISTMAS WINDOW COOKIES 3/4 cups shortening (part butter or oleo), softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract 2 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 6 rolls life savers candy (approximately, use multi colors for variety) Mix together the shortening, sugar, eggs and flavoring. Blend in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough 1/8-inch thick on lightly floured, cloth covered board. Cut into desired shapes, using cutters of two sizes to obtain cutouts. Place cookies on aluminum foil covered baking sheet. Place small pieces of candy in cutouts. Fill cutouts until candy is just level with dough. If cookies are to be hung, make a hole in each 1/4-inch from top with end of a plastic straw. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are very lightly brown and candy is melted. Cool completely on baking sheet. Crowd Pleaser
