Holiday Sugar Cookie Recipe

Here's another holiday favorite!

Sugar Cookies

• 2½ c. of flour
• 1 tsp. cream of tartar
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 egg
• 1½ c. powdered sugar
• 1 c. butter-flavored shortening

Start by beating shortening, powdered sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl on low for 30 seconds. Next, mix on high for one minute or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl often. Add the flour, a little at a time, and beat on low for 20-30 seconds after each addition, until mixed well.

Drop batter by teaspoonful, two inches apart, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Next, lightly grease the bottom of a drinking glass, dip in sugar, and then use to flatten the cookies.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on racks. Enjoy!
