JUNE'S FAMOUS SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Begin by creaming the powdered and granulated sugars with the butter and vanilla.

• Use a large scoop to drop on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.

WORLD FAMOUS PARADISE BAKERY SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugars and shortening using an electric mixer.
• Mix on slow speed 30 seconds, then scrape down the bowl with a spatula.
• Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes.
• Slowly add vanilla and beaten egg while mixing.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, mixing on slow speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
• Scoop with an ice-cream scoop and roll in sugar.
• Place directly on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.

JUDY'S FAVORITE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream together butter and sugar.
• Blend in vanilla and eggs.
• Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. I usually add in the first three cups of flour, with the baking powder and salt, then I slowly work in the other cups. It requires a lot of muscle near the end.
• Chill dough.
• On a floured surface, roll and cut cookies. For consistency in baking (and not burning) we use wooden rulers on either edge of the dough to make the dough all one thickness. The rulers keep the rolling pin at their level.
• Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will be golden along the edges, and still very soft in the middle when removed from the oven.
• Let cool on a cooling rack.

WORLD'S GREATEST SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream Crisco and sugar together.
• Add all other ingredients except flour.
• Slowly add flour until you can handle it enough to roll out on a floured surface (Dough can also be used for filled cookies).
• Cut dough with cookie cutters into fun shapes.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
• Don't overcook.
• They will look pretty lightly colored when done.
• If they start to brown, you've cooked them too long and they won't be soft.
