One of my top 10 very favorite cookie recipes! And they actually TASTE as good as they LOOK! (I swear they taste just like the cookies from the bakery!) I like how you can personalize these for each holiday or party theme! Eat them alone or with hot chocolate!!! YUM! (This makes ALOT I usually cut the dough in half, wrap it in saran wrap, place in a Freezer Ziplock Bag, and place in the freezer for another day!)
Ingredients:
1 C. Sugar
1 C. Powdered Sugar
2 C. Butter Flavored Crisco
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 Egg
4 1/3 C. Cake Flour- VERY important. Has to be CAKE Flour
3/4 tsp. Baking Soda
3/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375. In a medium bowl, cream together sugars and
shortening using an electric mixer for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Slowly
add vanilla and beaten egg while mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk cake flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing on slow speed
until just blended. Set aside half of the dough and color it pink. You now have
two dough balls; cut these both in half, so that you have four dough balls. (2 white and 2 pink)

This recipe will make 2 cookie dough rolls. Roll out each of the dough ballsuntil they are ¼ inch thick. You can use wax paper, and to keep the dough from sticking, use powdered sugar!
Place the pink doughs over top the white doughsand roll them out just a little bit. Trim the dough until it is a nice, clean cut rectangle.
Roll up the flattened doughs and roll around in sprinkles! 
Slice the cookie dough rolls into 1/2 in slices and bake for 9-10 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.
Tip: You can use these little ball sprinkles, but they are hard and crunchy, we prefer the Jimmy sprinkles, because they are soft but still add the sprinkle fun!
p.s. I got the cookie recipe from here, it's suppose to be a copycat recipe of Paradise Bakery's famous Sugar Cookie, but it reminds me way more of a shortbread cookie!
absolutely LOVE this!!! my kids would go crazy over these cookies
