Description

These cookies are big, soft and excellent! Great with frosting too! We won't eat any other sugar cookie!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
  1. 1. Combine milk with vinegar to make sour milk. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugars, shortening, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. 3. Stir in sour milk and mix well. NOTE: Dough will be very sticky and hard to handle. You could refrigerate it for a few hours, or just use plenty of flour when rolling out.
  4. 4. Roll on well floured board to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters to desired shapes (large cutters work best).
  5. 5. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly brown on bottom.
  6. 6. Frost with Sugar Cookie Frosting (see recipe) and decorate.
