Here's the recipe for those sugar cookies. They are excellent! And by the way, I never make only one batch...Two batches is just right for a family or if you want to share any.
2/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
4 tsp milk
2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Cream shortening, sugar, and vanilla. Add egg and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in milk. Mix together dry ingredients in small bowl and then add to creamed mixture. Blend well. Divide dough in half and chill one hour. (I never do that, and my cookies turn out fine.)
On lightly floured surface roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness. (Too thin means crunchy cookies--no good. It has to be thick!) Cut out shapes and bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes. Do not allow to brown. Bottom of cookies may be slightly golden. The cookies will still be soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will firm up as they set on the cookie sheet and cool. Remove to cooling racks after about 5 or 10 minutes.
Enjoy!

Best sugar cookie recipe in the world. I bought very cute sugar cookies today at the bakery, frosted for Halloween. They looked adorable but sure didn't taste like our homemade cookies. Ours are the best!
