Sugar Cookies(Like Grandmaw Made!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
4 eggs
1/2 c. milk
5 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder

Preparation

Mix shortening, sugar and eggs until smooth with uniform small lumps.
Add salt, baking powder and 2 cups of flour.
Blend together, then add milk and vanilla.
Mix again; now call someone else to start mixing for you so you can add the rest of the flour and laugh.
Add 1 cup of flour at a time until the rest of the flour is in; if mixture is still sticky to the touch, add more flour until it doesn't stick to your hand.
Roll out on a floured surface.
Cut in 3 to 4-inch ovals, about 1/2-inch thick.
Bake at 350\u00b0 to 375\u00b0 until done.
