Answer 3

old-fashioned sugar cookies

Ingredients1/2 cup lard or vegetable shortening, melted and cooled

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 cup sugar plus additional for coating the cookies

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt PreparationIn a large bowl stir together the lard or shortening, the butter, 1 cup of the sugar, the egg, and the vanilla. Into the bowl sift together the flour, the baking soda, and the salt and stir the mixture until it forms a dough. Chill the dough, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll rounded tablespoons of the dough into balls, roll the balls in the additional sugar, coating them completely, and arrange them 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Flatten the balls with the bottom of a glass dipped in the sugar (the edges will crack slightly) and bake the cookies in batches in the middle of the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the cookies to racks and let them cool. The cookies keep in an airtight container for 1 week.

baking powder helps cakes rise !  I usually use twice as much sugar as I do flour. then just a dab or so of vanilla flavoring... and for something different...add 2-3 tsp of coffee.

Sugar cookies:

1 cup of butter

2 cups of sugar

Cream together and add

2 eggs beaten with

2 T milk and

1 teaspoon vanilla (I like a bit more)

Mix with the butter mix

3 cups flour mixed with

1/2 tsp salt....and as much as

1/2 cup more flour until it's stiff enough to roll out

Make flat patties, wrap and refrigerate for an hour or longer....

Dust board with flour and powdered sugar mixed 1/2 and 1/2 and roll and cut...

Bake 375 for 8 to 10 minutes....I use parchment on the cookie sheets....if you don't have parchment....lightly grease the sheets.

The absence of baking powder keeps them from rising and keeps the cookies true to the shape of the cutter.....and makes them crisp
