Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies - Dorothy Farmer

Recipe

< Picture 1 of 1 >
This is a GOOD sugar cookie recipe. The cookies should be large soft and thick. I have made these cookies with grandchildren to enter in the fair in the "Grandmother-Grandchild" category and have won first place with them. My memory is dim, maybe it was second place, but anyway, we DID win a prize. I also have used this recipe to make Christmas cookies and have iced them with colored icing in Christmas colors. Fun to do with grandchildren!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • .5 tsp baking soda
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 4.5 cups flour
  • .5 tsp salt

Steps

  1. Cream shortening and sugar together. Add eggs and beat. Add sour cream and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients (baking soda, baking powder, flour and salt) and add to the shortening, sugar, egg, sour cream and vanilla mixture. Dough should be soft, but not sticky. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut in desired shapes. Bake in a 350F oven for 8-10 minutes. enjoy!
