Making Cookies

Well, I am back to blogging, I think anyway. Yesterday, the kid's didn't have school because a retired teacher from the public school died and her funeral was yesterday and their was too many teachers who wanted to go and pay their respects.

C and J wanted friends over and I had decided yesterday would be a good day for making cookies-so we made 4 batches of cut cookies and decorated them. 2 batches of sugar cookies and 2 batches of gingerbread cookies. My back is really hurting today. J wanted to take a bunch for her class and teachers and bus driver so I said she could take 15-well, when I got home today one who container was gone. I asked her how many she took, "well I took 15 bags with 2 in it." Oh, 30 cookies, great their goes cookies I was planning on taking places. I guess they were a great hit and the teacher wants the recipe for the sugar cookies. If you are interested here it is.

Sugar Cookies

4 cups sifted flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening (I used butter)
2 eggs beaten
2 spt. vanilla
2 T milk
2 cups sugar

Cream sugar, shortening and vanilla. Add eggs and milk. Sift flour and measure 4 cups out. Wisk flour, B. powder and salt-add to mixure.

Chill 20 minutes, roll out 1/8 inch. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

This is a recipe I got from Lisa Bessmer when she used to live around here.
