Soft Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are so much work, but they are a must-have with kids. It's something fun to do with them and seems to hold their attention. Even my 3 year old did better than I thought he would. Here's my recipe (I usually half it and it makes plenty for my family.)

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES

1 c. shortening
1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
3 T. vanilla
1/2 c. milk
1 T. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp baking powder
7 c. flour

Cream together shortening, sugar, and butter. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and add 1 cup at a time to sugar mixture. Add milk as needed. Roll out on floured surface. Cut out with cookie cutters. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until light and fluffy. Cool, frost and decorate.
