For a richer flavor, use half butter and half shortening. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Decorate the cooled cookies with frosting, sprinkles, or colored sugars for a festive touch. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
