Dainty Sugar
Cookies
1 C.
butter
1 C.
shortening
1 C. powdered
sugar
1 C. white
sugar
2 t.
vanilla
4 1/2 C.
flour
1 t. cream of
tartar
1 t. baking
soda
Mix well. Roll into
small balls. Place on cookie sheet
(I used parchment paper). Flatten with a glass (bottom side)
that has been
dipped in white sugar (one dip for each cookie) Bake 10
minutes at 350 degrees
or until lightly browned. I had to bake them between 12- 15
min.
Also be sure to mix
well from the bottom of the bowl
too. I didn't and the last batch was very soft and
spread too
much.

Dear Soushi24:

Thanks so much. I've been looking for a simpler sugar cookie recipe where I didn't have to roll out dough and use cookie cutters when I want to do a ""quick"" batch at the last minute.

This sounds like the traditional cookie people make here called Biscochitos. Instead of shortening, they use lard (can you imagine) and they're rolled in cinnamon sugar. It's the state cookie of New Mexico.

I made a batch last week and didn't have shortening so I used coconut oil (solid). Turned out great, everyone loved them. Just had a faint hint of coconut. I will make them that way again.

And healthy too!
