Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup colored sugar for decoration
Instructions
1
Combine dry ingredients, specifically flour, salt, and baking soda, in a large mixing container.
2
Separate the ingredients into three distinct groups: shortening, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
3
Combine these ingredients in a separate large mixing container using a stirring motion.
4
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, utilizing your hands to achieve thorough blending.
5
Divide the blended dough into three equal portions; shape each portion into a cylindrical form, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 7 inches long.
6
Roll each cylindrical shape into a colorful coating by gently covering it with colored sugar.
7
Store the coated dough cylinders in an airtight container within the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow proper resting.
8
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature.
9
Prepare baking sheets by applying a thin layer of grease to facilitate easy removal of baked goods.
10
Slice the chilled dough cylinders into 1/4-inch thick pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets.
11
Bake the sugar-coated dough slices in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they reach a lightly browned edge.
12
Remove the baked goods from the oven and allow them to cool briefly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack for complete cooling.
