Sugar Cookies
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
36-42 cookies
ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup large vegetable shortening
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 5 tablespoons sour cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder, heaping
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 5 cups flour (enough to make a soft dough)
directions
- Cream together the sugar and Crisco.
- Add the remaining ingredients in the order given.
- Stir until combined.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut in desired shapes.
- Bake 7-8 minutes at 375 F until just done but NOT brown.
- The recipe is written as I heard it. The term "large cup" of shortening is as dictated. I tend to use a slightly heaping cup.
- If I am in doubt about the cookie being done, I will lift a cookie off of the sheet and look at its' underside but you really don't want the cookies to brown because then they are over-done.

Like to cook tasty but not too fancy food.

<br>Love seeing what cooks from all over are doing.

<br>I am a school nurse in an elementary school and I really love the job. It's so much to fun to see children grow from kindergarten to grade five and I love working with the families in my school. Like every school, food plays a part in our "social life" and we bring food to celebrate birthdays, sport events (many K-state fans at school) and the holidays. Anyone who works in a school is,in part, an overgrown kid, so we also get to celebrate halloween, St. Patrick's day and Valentines day.

<br>Right now, my kitty Cartman is gracing my page. He was named by my son. His brother, Mistoffelees, also lives with us and I love their unique personalities.
