Lille's Take on "Grandma Tuzie's" Sugar Cookie

Oh my AMAZING!!  Hands down, these rock my socks off.  Literally, I am sitting here on my couch eating cookie number 6!  I'm going to feel it in the morning, but for now...Mmmmm

Sugar Cookies

3/4 C butter
1 C white sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tsp lemon zest
3/4 tsp vanilla
2 and 1/4 cups of flour
1tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Cream shortening, butter sugar together til creamy, then add eggs and the lemon and vanilla extract. Once well creamed add baking powder, salt and flour.

Chill dough for at least an hour then roll out and cut out shapes cook for 6- 8 minutes 400 degrees.

Enjoy!
