Preheat oven to 350 F

Whisk together flour and salt in a medium bowl

Cream vegetable shortening, softened butter, and powdered sugar in a large bowl

Blend vanilla and almond extract into creamed shortening, butter, and sugar

Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until smooth dough forms

Using a small cookie scoop, place cookies at least an inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 15-25 minutes, until you can just see a thin golden-brown line around the base of the cookies. Tops should still be light in color.

Carefully remove cookies from cookie sheet, and transfer to wax paper on a counter-top to cool slightly.

While still slightly warm, put some extra powdered sugar in a bowl and roll each cookie to coat thoroughly. 

Enjoy your delicious snowballs!
