Directions

1
In a large bowl, beat together the shortening, butter, sugars, salt, baking powder, Emulsion and sour cream powder (if using). When well-blended, add the egg, beating until fluffy. Whisk the flours and/or cornstarch together, and stir in. Divide the dough in half, form into disks, wrap well, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, and roll it 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut with Linzer cutters*, place the cookies on lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, and bake them in preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are very lightly browned on the edges. Remove them from the oven and cool on racks.
3
Dust the cookies whose centers are cut out with confectioners' or Snow White Sugar. Mix the frosting ingredients, then spread a thin layer on the bottom (solid) halves. Top with the cut-out halves. Store the cookies in airtight containers for several days, or freeze for longer storage.

Makes 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies
