• 1/2 cup Shortening
• 1 cup White Sugar
• 1 cup Champagne
• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Powder

• In a bowl, beat the sugar and shortening well, until light and creamy.
• Add the champagne and beat for one minute.
• Now, add the baking powder and flour and mix it to a smooth dough.
• Add the red food coloring, until it reaches the desired pink color.
• Pluck off about a rounded tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.
• Cover the top of the ball in sprinkles.
• Grease a baking sheet and put the ball in it, with the sprinkled part on the top.
• Repeat for the rest of the dough.
• Use the bottom of the glass and press the balls flat, to form cookie shapes.
• Bake at 190 degrees centigrade, in a preheated oven, for 15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown and crisp.
