Mint Sugar Cookies

1) Preheat oven to 350F, with the baking racks dividing the oven into thirds.
2) Cream together the Crisco and white sugar. Add in the eggs 1 at a time. Blend in the extracts and mint flakes. Set aside.
3) In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour through buttermilk powder on the above list).
4) Add the dry ingredients and the milk into the creamed mixture in alternating increments.
5) Place heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto greased, parchment paper lined cookie sheets, 6 to a sheet. (These really expand.) Sprinkle the tops of the dough with sugar.
6) Bake for approximately 14 minutes until lightly golden. Add more sugar on top when you remove the cookies from the oven. Allow to fully cool on wire racks. Store in an air tight container to ensure that they don’t dry out.
