Sugar Cookies


Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup heavy cream
Flour to stiffen (about 6 cups)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
Buttery Decorator Icing (below)

Directions:

Cream shortening and sugar with beater; add eggs and vanilla. Mix baking powder with flour, soda, and salt and add alternately with cream. Use enough flour to roll without being stiff. For softer cookies, bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes; for crispier cookies, bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Frost with Buttery Decorator Icing.
