1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 beaten eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups flour
Add sugar to shortening and cream well. Add beaten eggs and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and then add them to the shortening mixture gradually. Dough should be well formed. Chill dough in refrigerator for 2 hours or until very cold. Roll dough out onto clean surface until it is 1/4 inch in thickness. Use cookie cutter to cut dough and place on oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top of cookies prior to baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until cookies are brown. |
