AUNT FAYE'S SUGAR COOKIES image

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Mix dry ingredients and hold. 2. In mixer, blend top ingredients. 3. If adding color, add now. 4. Gradually add in flour mixture. 5. Chill for 1 hour. 6. Roll out between two sheets of parchment paper. Trim paper so fits on baking sheet. Move to baking sheet before cutting. 7. Cut out cookies, dipping cutter in flour. 8. Chill 10 minutes. 9. Remove excess dough. 10. Chill 10-30 minutes before baking (my guess is this keeps it from rising as much in the oven). 11. Bake on parchment paper at 400 for 8 minutes (check at 5 min.) No need for greasing pan if not using parchment paper.
