3D printer cookie cutters from

Tried and true sugar cookie recipe (lots of flour on the cutter) and a little black food color to get the statue color.
Sugar Cookies
Oven 375 degrees
Cream: 2/3 cup of shortening, 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1 tsp vanilla
Add and Beat: 1 egg
Fold in: 4 tsp of milk, 2cups sifted flour (not necessary, but I think they taste better), 1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt, until mixed.
Separate and add in any dyes as needed. If you add dye, add more flour. The dough shouldn't be sticky. If it's a humid day, add more flour :-)
Divide dough in half, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate 1 hour. (You can keep it longer than 1 hour, but not a whole day or overnight. It dries out too much.) Cold dough is très important.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface. Use cookie cutters or a glass to make shapes. If they just aren't holding up to being cut and moved to the cookie sheet, knead in more flour. It's hard to know how much extra you'll need if you need any at all.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes. They won't brown but will look set. I burnt many batches the first time. cool slightly before removing from sheet. Makes 2 dozen.
