Note to myself: use this recipe to try to re-create 4-color cookies. One was vanilla dough with chocolate sprinkles.

Mix shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla thoroughly. Blend dry ingredients together; mix into shortening mixture. Mix thoroughly with hands. Press and mold into long, smooth roll about 2-1/2" in diamter. Wrap in waxed paper; shill several hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 F (moderately hot). Cut in thin slices, 1/8" to 1/16" thick. Place a little apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6-8 minutes, until lightly browned.

If using self-rising flour, omit salt and reduce soda by half.

Nut Refrigerator Cookies: mix nuts into dough before chilling.

Cinnamon Slices: substitute cinnamon for vanilla.

Date-Nut Refrigerator Cookies: mix dates and nuts into dough before chilling.

Chocolate Slices: melt chocolate, let cool, then blend into shortening mixture.
