Sugar Cookies


1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. shortning
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt

Cream butter, shortning, sugar and eggs.  Add dry ingredients.  Chill 1 hour (I don't personally do this).  Roll out 1/2 inch thick dough and cut.  The thickness is the key to the soft sugar cookie - plus the baking time.  Bake at 400 for maybe 6-8 minutes or until you can see a little brown on the bottom of the cookie.
