The thing I love about sugar cookies is the decoration! You can cut out and do whatever you want with them (make cool shapes) and then you can put all kind of neat frostings or sprinkles on too. Sugar cookies are very easy to adapt for any special occassion. Plus the just taste good even if there isn’t something special going on!
But they are great for holidays, birthdays, parties, and any other occasion you want to celebrate. However, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be tempting your kids to whip up a batch just so you can eat them for no reason at all!
Jan’s Sugar Cookies
2/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
4 teaspoons milk
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sugar
Mix all together. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling and cutting. Sprinkle sugar on top before baking. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes (they will look underbaked but they are soft and chewy). Longer if you want a crisper cookie. Frost with a buttercream frosting if you like.
