Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies

Today, I wanted to share one of my favorite family recipes for sugar cookies.

You will need:

1/2 cup of shortening

1 cup of sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup of milk

2 1/2 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of cream of tarter

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

rolling pin

cookie cutter of choice

icing

Mix ingredients together. Roll dough out using rolling pin and cut shapes out with cookie cutter. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Let cool and then ice as desired.

Hope that you enjoy! Have a great day!
