Recipe Introduction


This is the only sugar cookie recipe I’ve had much luck with!! The dough handles beautifully! Design imprints from a cookie cutter remain on the cookie, making decorating very easy. 11/25/89: ~5-1/2 dozen cookies.

List of Ingredients




4 cups sifted cake flour (14 oz.)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup soft shortening (5 oz.)
1 1/2 cups sugar (11-1/2 oz.)
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons milk

Recipe



Sift dry ingredients together; set aside. Mix shortening with sugar, eggs, and vanilla until very light and fluffy. Mix in flour mixture alternately with milk. Refrigerate dough until easy to handle (several hours or overnight). Roll on floured board, cut, and bake at 400 degrees until delicate brown, about 9 minutes.
