This is THE sugar cookie recipe, my Mom and I get many many many requests every Christmas for these fun, thin, crisp, sugar cookies! We have a set of cookie pans that we press a very thin layer of the sugar cookie dough in to, and then decorate and bake. These taste great with coconut, pecans, mini m&m's, and colored sugar sprinkles on them.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon of salt
1 cup of shortening (the baking sticks work wonderfully for this no mess!)
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together in to a small bowl.
3. Cream together shortening and sugar till well blended. Add eggs beating in one at a time, then vanilla.
4. Slowly mix in dry ingredients to wet ingredients (using a mixer on low speed)
5. Store in refrigerator till ready to use. Be sure to make thin cookies, great for cut outs, or press in pans.
