"STIR AND SEASON" SATURDAYWell, I am sure there will be a lot of baking this week with Valentines almost here! This is a sugar cookie recipe to DIE for. My sister in law gave it to me and it makes the best sugar cookies to decorate EVER!!!! I use this recipe at Christmas, too! I love it!
SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
21/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
Cream shortening, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add all the dry ingredients. Cover and chill overnight. Roll and cut out cookies the next day{about 1/4 inch thick}. Bake at 350 until light brown (about 6-8 minutes). Let cool completely and begin to decorate! Enjoy!

MMMMMMmmmm! Now I'm in the mood for sugar cookies. Thanks for the recipe!
Sugar cookies are always a hit around here! I only wish I could make them look beautiful! I'm not too good with the pretty frosting.

Hi Sandy Toes,
Came for a quick visit as I read on April's blog that she won the award and..I often see your sweet comments to others!
April is a sweetie and I love her writing; sometimes it about something very simple but she is so animated! And you gotta love her girls. What a sweet family!!
Love new sugar cookie recipes (yum) and have thinking about goodies to give away on the big day. Will give these a try! :-)
I will visit again soon, your blog is very funny & interesting!
Have a great weekend & hope you have time to swing by!!!

Thanks for sharing this recipe... I have never found a sugar cookie/icing recipe combo that works well. And, this recipe sounds yummy and easy! Thanks and have a super weekend.
I have been searching world wide for a great sugar cookie recipe. I have enjoyed making/eating the results, yet they just weren't what I was looking for. I hope this one is a keeper! If not, I will just have to eat them all...again!
thanks for the wonderful recipe :) i think i may try them today! my family loved the cheesy chicken in the crock pot!
I am a crazy sugar cookie decorator...I will have to try that.
This looks easy AND good. Two of my favorite qualities when cooking/baking. :)
This sounds good, and doesn't look to hard...my kids will thank you!

Happy weekend hun~ Les
I have never made sugar cookies from scratch. Really sorta worried they won't turn out right. Yours looks so easy and sound so good!
Perfect timing - I'm making sugar cookies tonight for church tomorrow and am not happy with my recipe. And, I have everything listed - thanks

Wow! That looks simple enough for me to follow. Except the "chill overnight" part...I'm not known for my patience or for planning ahead enough to have time to chill overnight =)
Thanks so much for stopping by my place on my special SITS day!
