This is a fantastic sugar cookie dough that is very versatile. they have suggestions for making farmyard animals and sandwich star cookies . I used the recipes to make plain sugar cookies - just sprinkled them with colored sugar and they were perfect. Chill time not included. Ingredients:
3/4 cup softened butter |
3/4 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
4 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Beat butter and shortening in large bowl on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
2. Add sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Beat until combined.
4. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
5. Beat in flour - if too stiff to use mixer - mix remaining flour by hand.
6. Cover and chill dough for at least one hour so easy to handle.
7. Bake in 375 degree oven for 6-8 minutes or until edges just brown.
8. Cool.
