Rolled Sugar Cookies

Amy Fidel
This is the best rolled sugar cookie recipe I’ve tried (and I LOVE sugar cookies). I usually double the recipe so that I have plenty to share with family, friends and neighbors.
Ingredients Instructions

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shortening Butter Flavored Crisco
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups flour more if needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  1. Cream shortening and sugar until REALLY creamy; beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to creamed mixture. Roll out between two pieces of plastic wrap (not too thin). Bake 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees. These cookies keep their shape. Frost and decorate as desired.
