Who doesn’t love a wonderful sugar cookie? I am truthfully not really a sugar cookie person, but let me tell you….this sugar cookie recipe is amazing. I always make them fairly thick and they seem to stay soft and good at all times!  I made these last week for Valentine’s Day (about 70+ hearts) and not a single one was wasted.

Sugar Cookie Recipe:

• 1 Cup Oleo or Butter
• 1 Cup Shortening
• 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 Cup White Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 1/2 Cups Flour

Of course, there is always the stand mixer kept in your kitchen!

1. 1. Cream together the Butter and the Shortening.
   2. Add the Powdered Sugar and the White Sugar
   3. Add the remaining ingredients; eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and flour.
   4. After the cookie dough is all mixed together you can refrigerate if you feel necessary. (I typically don’t refrigerate)
