Favorite Sugar Cookies
Bowl I
Mix together:
3 Cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 scant tsp. baking soda
1 cup crisco
Cut the crisco into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles corn meal--I use two butter knives.
Bowl II
Beat together:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
4 Tbl. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix the two bowls together and refigerate for at least two hours. (I have also made this ahead of time and thrown it
in the freezer.) Roll out cookies, bake at 350* for 8-10
minutes.
I decorate these with a "Royal" icing.
