Evelyn's Rolled Sugar Cookies
36 servings
Ingredients
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
¾ cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Cream together the shortening and sugar. Mix in eggs and beat well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to shortening mixture in thirds. After each third, add 1/4 cup of the milk and mix well. Dough will be soft.
Step 4
Put dough on well-floured surface and knead in just enough additional flour so it can be rolled. Cut with your favorite cookie cutter.
Step 5
Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. I rotate my sheets, baking each sheet 5 minutes on middle, then 5 minutes on top rack.
