Lofthouse-Style Sugar Cookies image

This is a conglomerate of several recipes and suggestions from reviews that I have read in searching for the much-loved Lofthouse cookie recipe. It worked nicely for us, and though it is not EXACTLY the same, they are pretty darn good cookies. Who complains about cookies - honestly? :) Anyway, I recommend using the Recipe #271501 recipe that is posted on this site by ellie3763, but any frosting you desire will all go to the same place....the hips!

Time 30m

Yield 50 cookies, 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter flavor shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon real vanilla
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar.
  • Take the mixer out and, with a wooden spoon, add the egg, whipping cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined (it will look a bit "stiff"), but do not whip the cream too much.
  • In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
  • Add half the dry mixture at a time to the wet mixture. Only mix until it is thoroughly mixed together. Dough will seem sticky.
  • Roll dough into 1" to 1-1/4" balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
  • Flatten to 1/3" thick with the flat bottom of a drinking glass. They do not spread much when baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
  • Take the cookies out of the oven and move immediately to a wire rack to cool. Frost and decorate as desired.
