It's your LUCKY day!  I am going to share a top secret recipe with you!!     

I married into this recipe and it's just to good not to spread the love.  I'm sure Grandma Thelma won't mind.

We seriously look for every possible excuse to make these, moist, soft, melt in your mouth cookies.

Hurry and find a reason to make them yourself!

Best-Ever Sugar Cookies

3 cups flour (sifted)

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. soda

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 cup shortening

2 eggs

1 cup suger

2 TBS. milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Sift together dry ingredients.  Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter until well mixed.  In a separate bowl beat eggs and then add sugar, milk and vanilla.  Add to flour mixture and mix well.  On a floured surface roll out to 1/4 in thickness and cut desired shapes.  Bake at 350 for 6 min.

Frosting: Mix 1/2 of a bag (1 lb.) of powdered sugar into one stick of melted butter.  Add 1 tsp. vanilla, and a pinch of salt.  Slowly add milk one TBS. at a time until the frosting stays on the side of the mixing bowl.
