Good Sugar Cookies

This recipe was given to me from my good friend Connie McClain, Sydney, OH. She always makes these every Christmas and brings them in to the office.

1 1/3 cup butter (I use butter flavored Crisco)
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 T. milk
4 cups sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in milk. Sift together dry ingredients, blend into cream mixture.

Chill dough for about 1 hour or more.

On lightly floured surface roll out to 1/4" thickness. Cut shapes as desired.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from pan. When completely cooled, decorate as desired.

NOTES:
If I'm having difficulty cutting out the dough with cookie cutters I will put my cutters in the freezer before using again.

In addition, I will add different extract flavorings to the icing, i.e., cinnamon, cherry, anise, etc.

Spread the word
