Pie Crust Cookies

Pie Crust Cookies

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup palm shortening
1/2 cup cold water

Add two cups of flour, salt, and the palm shortening to the food processor and pulse until dough is hanging together in clumps. Add the final cup of flour, and pulse briefly to combine. Slowly drizzle the water in while pulsing until dough is stuck together. Remove dough from food processor and carefully knead with your hands to flatten into a disk or ball. Split the dough in half and roll flat on floured surface. Use cookie cutters to cut cookies. Place on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. (You may sprinkle a bit of sugar or salt on top of the cookies before baking, if you wish.)

Yield: however many cookies you can cut out, and depends on how big your cookie cutters are!
