Brittany with her decorated cookie.My daughters enjoy baking and decorating these cookies. My husband and son enjoy eating them.
Sugar Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp butter
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp butter
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
Stir together flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Beat butter and shortening for 30 seconds; add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, beating till well combined. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Working with 1/2 the dough at a time, on a lightly floured surface roll to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 375 oven for 8 minutes or till done.
You can sprinkle decorating sugar on the cookies before you cook them or we like to icing them after they are cooked and cooled.
To make it easier, I buy white icing and divide it into separate small bowls and use food coloring for fun decorating.
Enjoy!
