TxSoft Sugar Cookies (Sweets)

These cookies are very soft and if you want to use a cutter, the dough should be refrigerated a couple hours. Sprinkle tops with colored sugar or whatever decorative confection you like. These are good plain also."

Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in shortening with a fork. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Roll out a portion on floured surface. Cut with floured cookie cutters. Work in remaining mixture into next portion and repeat.

Try not to over mix the dough or the cookies will be dense. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees; Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
