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