Christmas Cookies Week 1

I know its a little early to be posting about Christmas but... This year I've decided that I want to give my friends and neighbors cookies for Christmas, not just any cookies, I want to give them a plate of cookies that look like Martha herself made them. So I've decided from now until the week before Christmas (six weeks) to try out one and maybe two recipes a week. I got this recipe from my friend Jennie and they are yummy!! and easy!! I know some of you are probably thinking, what a dork!! But now that I'm unemployed I've got time on my hands.
Chocolate Powdered Sugar Cookies

-1/2 cup shortening
-1 2/3 cup sugar
-2 tsp. vanilla
-2 eggs
-1/2 tsp. salt
-2 tsp. baking powder
-6 tbsp. baking coco
-1/3 cup milk
-2 cup flour
-powdered sugar

Mix all together. Batter will be very moist, chill for two hours to set the dough. Use a cookie scoop and roll into balls, roll balls through powdered sugar until covered. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake @ 350 for 12 to 15 minutes.
