Steps:
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack. Serve as is or ice as desired. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the dry ingredients together, and set aside. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together 3 to 4 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and mix for about 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time Add the vegetable oil and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, a bit at a time, just until combined. Don't over-mix. For best results, line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a Silpat). NOTE: The dough will be soft, so a cookie scoop makes the task a lot easier. Otherwise, chill the dough for at least 15 minutes, if you don't have a cookie scoop. I like to use a 2-inch cookie scoop to measure 12 cookies per sheet, spaced about 2" apart. With the flat of your palm (I lightly moistened my hands with water so the dough doesn't stick), gently press the cookie down just enough to flatten it out to be even. Sprinkle sugar on top. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. The cookies should be slightly brown around the edges. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Once the cookies are completely cool, they will be crunchy, with a tender texture on the inside. Yield: 3 dozen cookies. If you make 1-inch cookies, you should have 5 to 6 dozen.
AUNT ANNIE'S SUGAR COOKIES
A wonderful vegan sugar cookie. I borrowed this recipe, but can't remember where I got it from. This is the title it came with, though, so thank you to the originator! I originally found it while looking for a recipe for Christmas cut out cookies. This one works great! I have altered it ever so slightly. I like to roll them thin (but not too thin). They get eaten very quickly, especially warm out of the oven. By the way, I'm fully guessing at the yield. It depends on what size cutters you use, and how thin you roll them out. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together.
- In a large bowl, fully cream margarine and sugar together.
- Add soured milk alternately with the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
- Form dough into a ball, wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Cut the dough into quarters and roll out one quarter at a time (it rolls and cuts the best if it is chilled, so keep the remaining sections in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them).
- I use a pastry mat to cut my dough out on. I have never had a problem with the dough being sticky, but you can lightly flour your work surface, if necessary (beware that it might change the flavor a bit if you over flour).
- Transfer the cut out cookies to an ungreased baking sheet. I like to sprinkle a little sugar on the tops of them before baking. My children like to put sprinkles on top first. Or, you can leave them plain and put icing on afterwards. We have too big a sweet tooth here to eat them plain.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 7-9 minutes. Do not brown!
- Enjoy!

AUNT NELDA'S SUGAR COOKIES
This is my great aunt's famous sugar cookie recipe! They're her signature, and she brings them to every family gathering. I know there are a ton of other sugar cookie recipes on Zaar, but I didn't see any quite like this. They're scrumptious! She told me she got them from The Good Housekeeping Cookbook, Hearst Magazines, 1949. The prep time does not include time to chill overnight, and the serving size is an estimate!

AUNT ANGIE'S SUGAR COOKIES
My great aunt's recipe is a Christmas tradition since I was so small I had to climb on a chair to make them. Now that I'm older, I know it's the generous amount of nutmeg that makes them so good. The original recipe calls for 1 nutmeg. I did some research and translated that to about 1 T ground. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cream shortening and eggs.
- Stir baking soda into milk and add with remaining ingredients and 5 cups of the flour.
- Add the remaining flour gradually until the dough "feels right". A little sticky is better than too dry as you will be working with it on a floured surface.
- Chill dough.
- Roll out to desired thickness and cut with favorite cookie cutters. I like to roll mine on the thick side for a soft cookie, but if you want crisper just roll it thinner.
- You can brush with water and sprinkle with sugar before baking or leave plain and decorate with frosting after they are cooled. They are yummy either way.
- Bake at 400* about 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
- This recipe makes a lot of cookies, depending of course upon the size cutters and thickness you choose.

AUNT FANNY'S COOKIES
From Jo Ann Shirley's 1978 Cakes and Cookies cookbook. These are a pinwheel type cookie that has a sugar-cinnamon-walnut mixture rolled with a sugar dough. The dough does need to be chilled before rolling, but that chilling time has not been factored into the prep time. And I don't know how long they should be baked so let us all know if you try it!
