Directions

Preheat the oven to 325F

In a large bowl, mix the flours, sugar and baking powder.

Add the crisco and mix well.

Add as much as needed milk to make the dough soft enough so that you can roll it into balls.

Mix well and start rolling your cookies into balls about 1 1/2" in diameter.

Place them all on a baking sheet.

Bake the cookies for about 7-10 Mins.  Check the bottom of the cookies for the color as each oven behaves differently.

Let the cookies cool off.

Put the icing on the cookies and let them dry.
