My Grandma Ann always made these sugar cookies for me when she knew I was visiting. They are so light & airy, I would eat at least 4 at a time. Making these with Isabella brought back memories. The picture is of one her last Christmases with us. My niece Abby made us all scarves & Grandma is proudly sporting hers! I miss her, but so grateful she's alive in her cookies!
My mom found a small note pad with grandma’s handwritten recipes and one of the recipes was her sugar cookies. I am sharing this family recipe with you so you too may create memories with your loved ones and eat a lot of cookies too. LOL!
Grandma’s Sugar Cookies
Here is the sugar cookie recipe:
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup oil
- Pinch of salt
Mix well. You may have to add 1/2 cup more flour. Put in refrigerator at least 1 hour . Then put in cookie press. For Christmas I'll sprinkle them with red & green sugar before I bake them. Bake @ 350 degrees.
