Sugar Cookies
Heat oven to 400.
Blend together - 1/2 C shortening, 1/2 t salt, 1 t grated lemon rind, 1 C sugar
Beat in - 1 egg unbeaten and 2 T milk
Stir in - 2 C sifted Gold Medal Flour, 1 t baking powder and 1/2 t soda
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on lightly greased baking sheet.
Grease bottom of a glass.
Dip glass in sugar and flatten each cooky (yes, cooky).
Sprinkle cookies with nutmeg. Bake 8-10 minutes, until light golden.
Cool on a rack.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
I remember that sugar cookie recipe! Another one I often made.
The funny thing is, the first time I made those cookies all we had was self-rising flour. So, I omitted the leavening agents, but included the salt.
I think the extra saltiness was the thing that made the cookies great ;-)
