Cream together butter and shortening; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs.

Roll dough very thin, using floured pastry cloth on board and rolling pin. Cut in star shapes. Place 1 to 1½ inches apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake in 350℉ (180℃) oven 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp and straw-colored. Remove from baking sheets and cool on racks.
