Soft old fashioned sugar cookies warm out of the oven. You can serve these cookies simple as is, or frost and decorate when cooled. Eileen's original recipe makes a very large batch so when we baked them up we cut the recipe in half. We also used a sugar icing with holiday food coloring. Next time we may even add sprinkles!
Ingredients:
4 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. margarine
2 c. milk
4 tsp. baking powder
10 to 12 c. flour
Icing, if desired (recipe below)
Instructions:
Mix sugar, vanilla and margarine together.
Add eggs. Add milk slowly.
Add dry ingredients.
Refrigerate dough at least 2 hours.
Roll out on a well floured cutting board to 1/8-inch thick. Cut out cookies in shapes desired. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes.
Cool, frost, and decorate as desired.
