If you are looking for a SOFT sugar cookie recipe


THIS is the recipe you have to try!


Grandma Chipman’s Soft Sugar Cookies
(
beckyjblood@yahoo.com)

1 C butter, softened (2 sticks)
2/3 C shortening
2/3 C sour cream
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 C flour
2 C sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt


Beat together butter and shortening. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together. Gradually add the flour mixture until well mixed. Divide dough in half and chill for 1 to 2 hours or until easy to handle. You can roll this dough out and use cookie cutters. I prefer to use a small ice cream scoop, its faster and makes the perfect circles. Plus, if you use the ice cream scoop there is no need to chill the dough. Bake at 375 for 7 to 8 minutes.

Frost with Buttercream or cream cheese frosting!
