Sugar Cookies

Every Christmas we make sugar cookies. We dig out all of our Christmas cookie cutters, the star, tree, Santa, candy cane, etc. and make these wonderful cookies. You can sprinkle sugar on them before you put them in the oven or decorate them after they have cooled with colored frosting and sprinkles. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup Crisco shortening (you can use 1 1/2 cups butter)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Sift dry ingredients. Add shortening. Mix well with a fork. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix. Roll out on floured surface. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes.
