         Title: Girl Scout Cookies Shortbread   
    Categories: Cookies, Copycat   
         Yield: 60 Cookies   
      
       1/2 c  Butter-flavored shortening   
         1 c  Powdered sugar   
       1/2 ts Vanilla   
       1/4 ts Salt   
         2 tb Egg; beaten   
       1/2 ts Baking soda   
         2 tb Buttermilk   
     1 1/2 c  All-purpose flour;   
              - +1/4 c for rolling   
       1/8 ts Baking powder   
      
     Since they only sell these once a year, right around springtime,   
     you're bound to get a craving sometime around fall. And if you're   
     still holding onto a box, they may have begun to taste a bit like   
     used air-hockey pucks. Now you can toss out those relics and fill the   
     box with a fresh batch, made from this clone recipe for the first   
     variety of cookies sold by the Girl Scouts back in 1917.   
      
     In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar,   
     vanilla, and salt with an electric mixer.   
      
     Add the egg and beat mixture until it's fluffy. Add the baking soda   
     and mix for about 20 seconds, then add the buttermilk and mix for an   
     additional 30 seconds.   
      
     In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.   
      
     Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well with an   
     electric mixer until flour is incorporated.   
      
     Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill it   
     for 1 hour.   
      
     Preheat oven to 325?F.   
      
     Roll dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/8" thick and punch out   
     cookies with a 1-1/2 to 2" cutter (a medium-size spice bottle lid   
     works well). Arrange cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.   
      
     Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
