Description

This a fantastic old-fashioned sugar cookie recipe that is not as sweet as others that I have used. They complement a powdered sugar icing without being overly sweet. My favorite, and EASY!

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  2. 2. Cream sugar and shortening together. Add eggs and dry ingredients. Add the milk last.
  3. 3. No need to chill this dough, simply roll out to 1/4 inch thickness, cut out and bake 10-12 minutes.
