Mrs Lucille Sugar Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl combine the flour and salt with a wire whisk. In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until well blended. Scrape down sides of bowl, then add the flour mixture. Blend on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Gather dough into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or a plastic bag. Refrigerate one hour until firm.
• On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. With cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Decorate with colored sugars or sprinkles. Bake for 13-15 minutes, being careful not to brown. Immediately transfer cookies with a spatula to a cool, flat surface.

Steps:

• 1. Cream together butter and Crisco.
• 2. Mix in: corn oil, sugar and powdered sugar.
• 3. Add: eggs, vanilla or lemon extract, sifted flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
• 4. Dough will be very soft but not sticky. Drop a small ball of dough on parchment covered cookie sheet. Press down with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes and transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cream together butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Blend in flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt. Shape dough by rounded spoonfuls into balls.
• Mix 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon together. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until set but not too hard. Remove immediately from baking sheets.

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk for 4 mins until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla. Whisk in the cornflour and plain flour until the mixture comes together into a dough. Put the dough between two pieces of baking parchment, and roll out to a 6mm thickness using a rolling pin. Chill for 30 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the top layer of parchment off the dough and stamp out circles using a 6cm round cutter (or the shape of your choice). Re-roll any offcuts and continue stamping out rounds until all the dough is used. Transfer the cookies to a second large baking sheet lined with baking parchment, spacing them 2cm apart (you may need two sheets). Bake for 7-10 mins. Leave to cool on the sheet for 15 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for one week.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for topping. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt. Mix well with a whire whisk and set aside.
• In a large bowl, blend sugars with an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add the butter and mix to form a grainy paste. Scrape sides of bowl, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix at medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add the flour mixture and blend at low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in cinnamon-sugar topping.
• Place onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Immediately transfer cookies with a spatula to a cool, flat surface.
