RECIPES

COOKIES

Sugar Cookies

1/3 cup dairy-free margarine
1/3 cup soild shortening (Crisco)
2 cups flour
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt

Beat margarine and shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add about half of the flour, the egg, sugar, water, baking powder, vanilla and salt. Beat until thoroughly combined. Beat in remaining flour. Divide dough in half. Cover; chill for 3 hours.

Heat oven to 375F. Roll put each dough round between 2 sheets of waxed paper to 1/8" thickness. Remove 1 piece of waxed paper, invert cookie dough on cookie sheets. Using cookie cutters, cut dough, rerolling scraps and rechilling as needed. Bake 7-8 minutes or till edges are firm and bottoms are very lightly browned. Cool on rack.

Decorating ideas:
Sprinkle cookies with red or green "sugar crystals" prior to baking, or frost with icing and decorate after baking. (You can mix up powdered sugar with a few drops of orange juice to make a simple white frosting).
