1. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together shortening, sugar, orange or lemon zest, and vanilla on medium to medium-high speed. Add egg, and beat until light and fluffy. Add milk, and mix.

2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then blend into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half, slightly flatten between 2 sheets of waxed paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 20 minutes).
2. 之后,先將面粉、發(fā)酵粉和鹽篩一遍,再放入之前做好的奶油混合物中,進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的混合。將生面團(tuán)一分為二,之后輕輕地將其打平,并放于兩張蠟紙之間,放入冰箱中1小時(或放入冷凍室中20分鐘)。(譯者注:篩面粉、發(fā)酵粉和鹽是為了避免雜質(zhì))

3. Meanwhile, prepare Colorful Glaze: Combine egg yolk, 1 tsp. water, and food coloring as desired (for multiple colors, make multiple batches). When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F.
3. 在面團(tuán)放入冰箱期間,準(zhǔn)備好著色工作:將蛋黃、1茶匙水和食用色素按自己的需要進(jìn)行混合(如果需要多種顏色的話,那么就進(jìn)行多次混合)。當(dāng)烘焙的原料都準(zhǔn)備好時,將烤箱先預(yù)熱至375華氏度(約191攝氏度)。

4. Roll out dough onto 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut dough into shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer shapes to lightly greased cookie sheets. With soft brush, paint cookies with Colorful Glaze as desired.

5. Bake 6 to 8 minutes; do not allow cookies to brown. Remove cookies from oven and place on wire rack to cool complete.
5. 將著好色的餅干放入烤箱中烘焙6-8分鐘,千萬別烤“糊”了哦!之后將餅干取出,放置于鐵絲架上直至完全冷卻。

6. Meanwhile, prepare White Icing: In large bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk (mixture should be fairly thick). Put icing in pastry bag or ziplock bag with tip cut off. When cookies are completely cool, decorate as desired with icing.
