In a separate bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Stir in the hot water and vanilla extract until smoothly combined with the creamed mixture. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
