cut out cookies
Jan's Sugar Cookies
2/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
4 teaspoons milk
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sugar
Mix all together. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling and cutting. Sprinkle sugar on top before baking. Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes (they will look underbaked but they are soft and chewy). Longer if you want a crisper cookie. Frost with a buttercream frosting if you like.
