Continuing on my recent theme of sharing cookie recipes from my childhood, here is a recipe my mom and I made every year. We often ended up eating at least as much of the raw dough as we baked. Even now I sometimes make this just for the dough. After all, sometimes it’s just not worth the rolling out and cookie cutting. 😉
To distinguish this from other sugar cookies, my mom called these Good Sugar Cookies.
Good Sugar Cookies
- 2/3 c. shortening
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 t. vanilla
- 1/2 t. grated orange peel
- 1 egg
- 4 t. milk
- 2 c. flour
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
Cream shortening, sugar, vanilla and orange peel. Add egg and beat until fluffy. Add milk and blend in dry ingredients. Divide in half. Chill one hour, roll our 1/8″ think and cut. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 375 for six to eight minutes.
