Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased as per preference.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, cream the Butter Flavor Crisco, sugar, milk, and vanilla together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and well blended.
  3. 3
    Beat in the egg until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. 4
    In a separate small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. 6
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least several hours, or overnight, until firm.
  7. 7
    Remove dough from the refrigerator. Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  8. 8

    Decorate the cookies by pressing in desired toppings such as baking chips, raisins, dried fruit, coconut, nuts, or colored sugar before baking.
  12. 12
    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender.
