This recipe comes from A Collection Of The Very Finest Recipes Ever Assembled Into One Cookbook . From 1979. These are amazing cookies. I love sugar cookies, and was skeptical when I saw this recipe, but I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt, and just let me say, they are WONDERFUL. *NOTE*: Use fork tines dipped in brown sugar to form. It leaves a nice light crust if you will on top. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening (we use margarine) |
2 cups light brown sugar |
2 large eggs |
2 tablespoons water |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
3 1/2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Cream shortening and sugar; add eggs, water and vanilla.
2. Sift dry ingredients and mix well.
3. We take little balls of dough and mash down with fork; or you can roll it out and cut with cookie cutter.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350°.
5. A vanilla or caramel icing is good; or sprinkle brown sugar or coconut on top before baking.
