Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter-softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks-room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- decorating sugars
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and shortening on medium for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; beat until combined. Add egg yolks and vanilla; beat until combines. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer, then stir in by hand any remaining flour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls (I used a small scooper for uniformity). Dip half of each ball in decorator's sugar. Place balls, sugar side up on a baking sheet with a Silpat liner, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are set; do not let edges brown. Cool on a wire rack.
