Valentine's Day is right around the corner and around here we like to make heart-shaped sugar cookies to celebrate. This is a recipe for the best sugar cookies I've ever tried. It is from a friend who is a great cook. These cookies puff up nicely and are soft and chewy--just the way I like 'em!
Favorite Sugar Cookies
1 c. shortening (butter flavor is best)
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 c. sour cream (whole milk vanilla yogurt works well too)
1 t. vanilla
1 T. almond extract
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
4 t. baking powder
4 1/2 c. flour
Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs, sour cream and extracts. Add dry ingredients (may need a little more flour). Mix dough until soft. Chill several hours (or up to two days). The longer you allow the dough to chill, the easier it is to roll and cut.. Roll, cut, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
