Sugar Cookies

If I remember right, I copied this recipe from a scrap of paper in Grandma Adams' recipe collection when I was in college. It has always been my favorite no-fail sugar cookie recipe!

Sugar Cookies

2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups shortening
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup canned (evaporated) milk
5 cups flour
2 heaping teaspoons baking powder

Cream the sugar and shortening together. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and milk. Mix the flour and baking powder separately. Mix everything together. Chill in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
