Sugary Delight Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup colored decorating sugar
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a small bowl for the decorating sugar, and if desired, use multiple colors in separate bowls.
2
Utilize a stand mixer to blend shortening and butter until they form a smooth consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes. Combine the sugar with the shortening and butter mixture until well incorporated, followed by adding eggs one at a time, ensuring to scrape the sides of the bowl as required. Introduce vanilla into the mixture.
3
In a separate, medium-sized container, blend flour, baking powder, and salt until they are fully combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, resulting in a cohesive dough.
4
Form the dough into small balls of approximately walnut size. Coat each ball with sugar, then position 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
5
Place the prepared cookies in the preheated oven and bake until they are lightly browned on the bottom, 10-12 minutes, switching the oven racks halfway through. Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks for cooling.
