How to Making Recipes Sugar cookies using 7 ingredients and 6 steps
Sugar cookies - Cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I love sugar cookies that are crisp on the outside and very chewy on the inside. Do not try to roll these cookies out, they are meant to be shaped or dropped.
Enjoy your sugar cookies plain, or decorate them with icing to make them festive.
This recipe is a favorite of Martha's, who likes to add one tablespoon cognac alongside the egg and vanilla, after creaming together the butter and sugar.
