Ingredients

- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 cups sugar (We prefer a less sweet cookie, we use 1&1/2 cups)

- After making 3/4 of the cookies I added cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to the last of the dough.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven at 350
Beat the eggs in a small bowl. In a large bowl cream Crisco and sugar. Add beaten eggs, vanilla and milk. Add flour mixture and mix well. Turn out onto a floured board and knead slightly. Roll out and cut with a cookie cutter. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 15 minutes. Can sprinkle with sugar before baking if you would like too.
