Steps to make Soft Sugar Cookies:
- Cream together shortening and white sugar until fluffy (it's best to use a hand beater or stand mixer). Add eggs, milk, and 1 tsp vanilla and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet mixture a little at a time, forming a soft ball of dough. Refridgerate for an hour to make dough firm.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters or the rim of a drinking glass. Collect dough scraps and continue until all dough has been used.
- Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. Do not let cookies become brown, and do not overcook, else they will become hard. Cool cookies completely before decorating.
- For the frosting, place confectioner's sugar, milk, syrup, and almond OR vanilla flavoring into a bowl and mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined. Frosting should not be runny, but about the thickness of thick oatmeal.
- Add food coloring to create desired colors for frosting, then spread or pipe onto cookies. Frosting should harden in about 90 minutes.
First, I use powdered sugar in the recipe, and experience has taught me that using powdered sugar in recipes make them incredibly soft, same as in my a-m-a-z-i-n-g melt-in-your-mouth vanilla pudding chocolate chip cookies. The reason for that is that powdered sugar has cornstarch in it, which helps give a soft texture to cookies and other baked goods. I have been looking forever for the best soft sugar cookie recipe and this is it!!!! Finally I am completely happy with this soft sugar cookie. I made a half recipe and used the medium scoop.
