I decided that I needed some R and R last week and got out my Cricket, stamps, stickers and went to work. The cards are all made and I have no excuses except I need to address them and sent them out. For some reason that always seems to be a problem.I wanted to send a Valentine to all of my friends who never got the Christmas cards I made. One of my colleagues at work reminded me that I haven't made any sugar cookies either lately and Valentine's Day is on Monday. I see a baking day coming up. The following is a recipe a friend gave me many years ago that I use.
Shirley Swander's Sugar Cookies
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl mix: 4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup shortening
In a small bowl combine: 1 tsp soda
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten
Pour small bowl into larger bowl and mix well and roll out using your favorite cutter. Bake to 8 minutes.
