Back when I was in high school I was in FCCLA (Future Career and Community Leaders of America) and every Valentine’s Day we did a fund raising event where we would make heart shaped cookies and students could buy them for themselves or for that special someone. Our teacher, Ms. W had this great cookie recipe that we would use and I thought I’d share it with you! Enjoy!
Sugar Cookie Ingredients
4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
1 2/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
In a large bowl, mix:
4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
In a mixer, cream:
1 c. shortening
1 2/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
Then add:
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
Add flour mixture a little at a time until all mixed together.
Make sure that you keep the counter covered in flour, it will make it easier to transfer them from the counter to the cookie sheet!
Cut out your favorite shape. I just did round ones since I only had Christmas, Halloween and baby cookie cutters!
Mrs. W and I were just talking about this recipe tonight! Love, love, love your blog!
Haha! That’s funny! It’s a good one! Especially with the delicious frosting! 🙂
