Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. In the bowl of a mixer, combine shortening/butter, eggs and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the dry ingredients (you can combine the flour, baking powder and salt) and mix, alternating with the milk.
  4. Refrigerate the dough until it is easy to handle, about an hour or two in the fridge or less in the freezer.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough, and keep the rest in the refrigerator. Roll out to between 1/8 and inch and ¼ inch, depending on if you want thicker or crisper cookies.
  6. Dip your Hanukah cookie forms in flour and form cookies.
  7. Using a spatula, place raw cookies on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper and bake for 9 minutes, or until they are cooked through but not yet browned.
  8. Let the cookies cool and then ice.
  9. For the Icing start with about 2 cups confectioners sugar and just enough water to make a paste to work out the lumps out (sifting would make this faster). Add the vanilla and some water to thin to the desired consistency, not too thick or thin. Divide into two bowls and add blue food coloring to one of the bowls. Then drizzle the white and blue icing and embellish with sprinkles. You can also ice the whole cookie using a pastry brush if desired.
