Ellen, I made your cookie recipe today with Crisco and they turned out
nicely. I am glad you told me about the tempeture you used and the time.
Cookies were done in exactly 8 minutes. I doubled the batch and got the
right amount needed. Will ice and sprinkle them tomorrow and freeze until
February 14th. Thanks again.
Shannon

It says shortening and Crisco is shortening. I think I may have used Crisco
a time or two and they came out fine.

Ellen, thanks so much for the recipe. You said you use margarine do you
think it would make a big difference if I used Crisco?

Crisp Sugar Cookies
This is my favorite sugar cookie recipe. It is in a book called One
Hundred
Cookie Recipes that was put out by the organization that did the old A
Leaf
From Our Table book. It was one of the first cookbooks I got in braille.
I
made them every Christmas and Easter, but now my Dad isn't around to help
me
decorate them. It's hard for me to get the sprinkles on evenly. I have
tried other recipes, but these always come out the best. They make a lot
of
cookies so it's worth the effort.
1/2 cup shortening (I always use margerine)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 and a half cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Colored Sugar
Cream shortening; add sugar, vanilla and unbeaten eggs, one at a time;
beat
until light. Add sifted dry ingredients; mix well. Chill for 2 hours.
Roll thin; cut with floured cutters;sprinkle with sugar. Garnish with nut
halves, raisins or candied cherries if desired. Bake on greased cookie
sheets in 400 degree oven (I do them at 350) for 10 minutes (I do them
about
8 minutes). About 5 dozen.

My daughter is a teacher and I am making cut out sugar cookies in heart
shapes for her class for valentines day. I am in need of a recipe with no
milk as some students are Lactose intolerant. I have been looking at the
sugar cookie recipes that I usually use but most of them require milk or
sour cream. I know I can look on line for one but I would prefer a recipe
that has been tried before. Thanks for any recipes!
Shannon
