Sugar Cookies

Here is my delicious sugar cookies. It's my favorite cookie! I get asked for this quite a lot. Years ago I perfected this recipe and I've found that you shouldn't add too much flour so they are still kind of sticky then chill the dough well before you roll it out. YUMMY!!

In a separate bowl mix together:

1 c. Buttermilk

½ t. Baking soda

Set aside.

1 ½ c. sugar

½ t. salt

1 c. partially melted shortening

1 T. baking powder

3 eggs `

1 T. Vanilla

½ t. baking soda

3-5 c. flour

Mix sugar & shortening. Add eggs mix well. Add buttermilk mixture. Add soda, salt, baking powder & vanilla mix well. Add flour a little at a time until the dough isn’t too sticky. Chill in refrigerator until chilled. Roll & cut out then Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.

My favorite frosting is butter cream with salt and almond flavoring.
