Rolled Sugar Cookies
Cream together: I/2 C. Butter 1/2 C. Crisco 1 Egg 1 tsp. Vanilla Add and mix together in a bowl: 1/4 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Soda 1/4 tsp. Cream of Tarter 2 C. Flour 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar 1/2 C. White Sugar Add to creamed mixture and blend well. Chill 1 to 2 hours. Roll out dough on floured board and cut out in desired shapes. Bake @ 375 degrees about 12 minutes or until light brown. The time depends on how thick the dough is cut. I substitute 1/2 c. or less of Splenda for the white sugar. I have substituted ½ tsp Baking Powder to replace the Soda and Cream of Tarter in an emergency with no ill effects. Florence
