I have been making these since the 70's. The recipe was passed on to me by my mother-in-law and I have yet to find a better tasting sugar cookie! I sprinkle them with colored sugar for the holidays. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups white sugar |
1 cup shortening |
3/4 cup milk |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Mix in eggs and beat well.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to shortening mixture in thirds. After each third, add 1/4 cup of the milk and mix well. Dough will be soft.
4. Put dough on well-floured surface and knead in just enough additional flour so it can be rolled. Cut with your favorite cookie cutter.
5. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. I rotate my sheets, baking each sheet 5 minutes on middle, then 5 minutes on top rack.
