This is the absolute best sugar cookie recipe..ever!
They are best when cut a little thicker and not over-baked.
Top with buttercream frosting and you've got a delicious treat!
Cream:
2 cups shortening (use regular Crisco)
2 1/4 cups sugar
8 tsp milk
4 tsp orange juice
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
Add:
6 cups flour
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
After mixing dough divide dough into thirds. Wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to make cookies roll dough 1/4" thick (or slightly thicker) between 2 sheets of lightly floured waxed paper. Cut with cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes or until you see a light browning on edges. When cool, frost with buttercream frosting. Do not overbake cookies. The dough will keep in fridge for several days and freezes great!
