Grandma's Cut Out Cookies

Description:
Grandma would always make these cookies for my sister and I when we would make the long trip to her house. Hers were always circles, but I love to cut them into Christmas shapes, Easter shapes, or just fun shapes. I make them now for my own grandson!

Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Cut shortening and butter into the dry ingredients in above group.
Mix the remaining ingredients, then add gently
to the first mixture.
Chill. Roll out a small amount of dough at a time on lightly floured board using lightly
floured rolling pin. Cut into desired shapes. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate with sugars.
