Sugar Cookies. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. I love sugar cookies that are crisp on the outside and very chewy on the inside. Do not try to roll these cookies out, they are meant to be shaped or dropped. This recipe can easily be made into snickerdoodle cookies by rolling the dough in cinnamon-sugar before baking.
Sugar cookies are a buttery classic that make a delicious anytime treat.
Enjoy your sugar cookies plain, or decorate them with icing to make them festive.
