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.
Beat the ingredients together until the butter is light, fluffy and clings to the side of the bowl.
