My first time

Well, this is my first official posting!  OK, there was the Amish Sugar Cookie recipe, but that was just a test.  I am excited to be on here and hope to be able to share things with all of you, and learn some things as well.  Here is a sampling of some of the things I like to cook.

   

Amish Sugar Cookies

Amish Sugar Cookies


1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. confectioners sugar
1 c. butter
1 c. oil
2 eggs
4 ½ c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter, sugars, and oil.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients, mix well.  Place dough in the refrigerator for a few hours.  Make walnut-sized balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Press down with a fork, then sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 350º for 10-12 minutes.
