Festive no-roll sugar cookies - fun for kids to shape and decorate with sprinkles!
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups butter
  • 1.5 cups shortening
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 4.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
Instructions:
  • Cream together the butter, shortening, and sugars until they are light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs and vanilla. Next, sift the dry ingredients and add them to the creamy mixture, mixing well to blend everything together.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then coat them in either regular or colored sugar or decorator sprinkles. Arrange the dough balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet and gently press them down with the bottom of a water glass.
  • For chewy, evenly baked cookies, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. Alternatively, larger cookies shine when baked at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
