Sugar Cookies

• 2 c. sugar
• 1 c. shortening
• 4 eggs

Cream sugar and shortening together.

Add eggs and beat until fluffy. Add:

• 1 c. sour cream
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla
• 1 c. powdered milk
• 1/4 tsp. lemon extract

Beat until fluffy. Add dry ingredients a little at a time:

• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 5+ c. flour

The dough will be soft. Put the dough on a floured surface and knead in a little more flour until you can roll it out to desired thickness. Cut out! 

Bake in 375 degree oven for 8 min. (time will vary)

Do not let them get too brown.

When cool, frost with favorite frosting.

Enjoy!
