Tea Cakes II

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup butter flavored shortening
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 6 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Cream together eggs, butter, sugar and baking powder. Stir in the flour. Dough will be stiff.

Shape in walnut sized balls and flatten with the bottom of a glass.

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 minutes. If you brown them, you've overbaked them. These may also be rolled out and cut with cookie cutters.
