I've used these for 30 years and like them because, with the right dough
and thickness, they leave an imprint for easy decorating. My
Halloween (and Thanksgiving) cut-outs are in the freezer, ready for
tomorrow's adventure with the Blue Ribbon Granddaughter. "I go Baba's
house. Make cookies." Light a candle.

Sugar Cookies

Recipe By : posted to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller 10-29-04
Serving Size : 66 Preparation Time :12:00
Categories : Cookies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups sifted cake flour (14 oz.)
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup soft shortening (5 oz.)
1 1/2 cups sugar (11-1/2 oz.)
2 eggs -- unbeaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tsp. milk

Sift dry ingredients together; set aside. Mix shortening with sugar,
eggs, and vanilla until very light and fluffy. Mix in flour mixture
alternately with milk. Refrigerate dough until easy to handle (several
hours or overnight). Roll on floured board, cut, and bake at 400
degrees until delicate brown, about 9 minutes.

This is the only sugar cookie recipe Išve had much luck with!! The
dough handles beautifully! Design imprints from a cookie cutter remain
on the cookie, making decorating very easy. 11/25/89: ~5-1/2 dozen
cookies.
