* 1 egg
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt

FROSTING
INGREDIENTS
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 4 cups confectioners' sugar
* 2 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and vanilla. Blend in the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk, and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered until ready to decorate.
*When you need to add coloring to icing, use color paste. If you use liquid coloring, you may need to add more confectioner's sugar.
Sift together in large bowl:
3 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add:
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375-400F degrees.

Put on prepared cookie sheet. Dot a raisin in the middle and bake about 12 minutes at 375-400 degrees.
hope that helps =)
I have the BEST sugar cookie recipe of all time. My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves these. I hadn't made them in a while and made them a few weeks ago and as my daughter was taking a bite out of one, she said "Mmmmmm, just like old times!!!", and she's only 7 years old. So, they are gooood. Here's the recipe. (that first one sounds a little odd to me, and I've been cooking for many years) This recipe makes quite a few cookies, but, trust me, they won't last long, and they also freeze well and taste just as good as they do fresh. They aren't frosted, but you could put a powdered sugar frosting on if you wish. Good luck and ENJOY!
1 cup butter (MUST USE BUTTER)
1 cup crisco
1 cup white sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. vanilla (can use lemon extract if you wish)
1. Cream butter, crisco, powdered sugar and white sugar together.
2. Add eggs.
3. Add flour, soda and cream of tartar
4. Add vanilla
5. Roll into balls and flatten slightly with a glass that has been dipped in sugar. I use a regular sized cookie scoop to make my balls instead of rolling them into balls, I just scoop them onto my pan, works alot easier.
6. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-11 minutes at 350 degrees.
The cookies will be done in probably 10 minutes and do not get too brown around the egdes. Good luck and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
