Sugar Cookies

3/4 C Butter Flavored Shortening
1 C White Sugar
2 Eggs
1 T Milk
1 t Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 C All-Purpose Flour
1 t Baking Powder
1 t Salt

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk and 1 tsp vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least one hour.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheets to cool on wire racks. Cool completely before frosting.
