Vanilla Cookies

==Ingredients==
* ½ cup sugar
* 6 tablespoons shortening
* ⅛ teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 1 egg
* about 2⅓ cups flour, or enough to make a medium soft dough
==Directions==
# Put shortening, salt, vanilla and milk into a bowl, and work with a spoon until creamy.
# Add the sugar gradually, stirring constantly until well creamed and white.
# Mix in the well beaten egg, and fold in the flour to a rather soft dough.
# Divide into 2 or 3 pieces so as to be handled more easily, and roll out on a well floured board to ¼ inch thickness.
# Cut with a floured biscuit cutter, lay in baking pan, and bake in a medium slow oven to a very light brown color.
