Homemade Sugar Cookies
Recipe as follows:
- 1 1/3 cup butter or shorting ( I used butter flavored crisco shorting)
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- zest of 1 orange
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 TBLS whole milk
- colorful sprinkles
Directions:
Beat the shortening (or butter), sugar, and zest in a bowl until smooth, then add the eggs and vanilla beat together until all combined. in a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding the dry ingredients with the milk until the dough comes together.
Separate dough in two sections and refrigerate a few hours.
After the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out both halves of the dough to 1/3 inch thick and cut out as many cookies as you can. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with a baking mat sprinkle your colorful sprinkles and bake them for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they’re just barely done. They should not brown but set.
Enjoy!! xoxo.
