The best thing about this recipe: These are great sugar cookies. My jaw dropped when I saw 4 cups--read--4 cups of flour for this one recipe. There is enough here to feed a Viking horde.
1 Cup Margarine (I use butter)
1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Sugar
2 eggs
Cream ingredients together and then add dry ingredients:
4 Cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
Chill for 1/2 hour. Roll and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Cook 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Decorate as desired.
Vegetarian: This is already vegetarian. I'm hoping all of my dessert recipes are.
Aunt Penne is truly a kindred spirit. I am not really surprised that she would pick sugar cookies. They are sweet, light, with a great sense of fun. Everyone likes them, and it can be a really fun project for the family. It really reflects her personality. She is bubbly and optimistic, and the only Bears fan in a house full of Vikings. I suppose you would have to be optimistic in a house like that. She is a woman with a compassionate and loving heart. When I think of her, I think of love. I think we could all try to be more like her.
