Sugar Cookies

Happy long weekend and Easter. In my house any and all holidays are used as an excuse to bake more than necessary. I decided to try my hand at sugar cookies. As you can see decorating is work in process but the cookies themselves, SO GOOD.

This sugar cookie base is something I got from my mom, and prob not traditional but it does not require to be refrigerated before baking and its super soft.

What you need:

1/4 lb margarine piece

5 tsp oil

5 tsp sugar 

1/2 tsp baking powder 

1 1/2 cups flour 

1 egg

How to make it:

In a mixer ready bowl combined all ingredients in a bowl and mix with a mixer.

Roll out to about 1 cm thick dough, cut out in desired shapes and bake at 350 for about 8-9 minutes.

Decorate with choice of icing. I made this recipe for icing.
