Cracked Sugar Cookies















1 cup Shortening (I use butter)
1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Cream (or whip for lighter, fluffier cookies) Shortening (butter) and sugar.
 Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well.
Add vanilla.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Then slowly add this to the wet ingredients.
Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350
Form dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar. Place 2" apart and bake for 10-11 mins until center looks cooked. Baking until browning will yield a stiffer cookie.

Remove from pan immediately.
