ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 cup Crisco shortening
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour milk
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 6 cups flour
directions
- In a large bowl, mix together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla and lemon extracts with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda; gradually stir in milk to flour mixture until well blended but do not overmix -- cookies will get tough. Chill dough.
- Preheat oven to 350°F On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cookies from pan and cool on wire racks.
