Sugar Cookies

"One day during the holidays, I was on hold with the local NPR station playing in the back ground. They offered a Sugar Cookie recipe from someone from my home town and on a whim I wrote it down. These make a tender, soft flavorful sugar cookie that is great to decorate. We love chocolate at our so often the cookies get frosted with chocolate with a colored sugar sprinkled on top. Makes an easy to roll out cookie with a great taste."

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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Like to cook tasty but not too fancy food. <br> <br>Love seeing what cooks from all over are doing. <br> <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> <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.
