Sugar Cookie Recipe for Laura

2/3 C shortening
3/4 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Cream those 3 ingredients together. Then add:

1 egg
4 tsp milk
2 C flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Mix until dough forms.

Roll out and use cookie cutters. Do not grease baking pans. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. (Pull them out before they look golden at all--or maybe just a hint of brown around the bottom edge or they won't be soft.) Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking pan before transferring to wire rack. Then let cool completely before frosting. Good luck!
