Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup sour milk (put 1 T vinegar in measuring cup and add enough milk to make 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
Method
- Mix the vinegar and milk to make sour milk.
- Add vanilla to the sour milk; set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, cream together sugar and shortening until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time.
- In separate bowl, blend together baking soda, salt, flour and baking powder.
- Add flour mixture, alternately with sour milk mixture, to the creamed sugar and egg mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- On floured surface, roll out dough to desired thickness, about 1/4 inch.
- Cut out with desired cookie cutter or cutters.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 5-7 minutes; I like mine soft.
- Let set on cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to wire rack to cool.
- Frost when cool.
- This recipe should make about 5-6 dozen, depending on the size of the cookie cutter you use.
