Aunt Annie’s Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1.75 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Regular
- 0.75 cup Soymilk
- 1 teaspoon Distilled
- 4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together.
- In a large bowl, fully cream margarine and sugar together.
- Add soured milk alternately with the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
- Form dough into a ball, wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Cut the dough into quarters and roll out one quarter at a time (it rolls and cuts the best if it is chilled, so keep the remaining sections in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them).
- I use a pastry mat to cut my dough out on.
- I have never had a problem with the dough being sticky, but you can lightly flour your work surface, if necessary (beware that it might change the flavor a bit if you over flour).
- Transfer the cut out cookies to an ungreased baking sheet.
- I like to sprinkle a little sugar on the tops of them before baking.
- My children like to put sprinkles on top first.
- Or, you can leave them plain and put icing on afterwards.
- We have too big a sweet tooth here to eat them plain.
- Bake in a 350F oven for 7-9 minutes.
- Do not brown!
