-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 Butter Flavor CRISCO Stick
or 1 cup Butter Flavor
CRISCO all-vegetable shortening
2 eggs
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour -- plus
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour -- divided
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine sugar and shortening in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of
electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, syrup and vanilla. Beat
until well blended and fluffy.
Combine 3 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add gradually
to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix until well blended.
Divide dough into 4 quarters. Wrap each quarter of dough with plastic
wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Heat oven to 375F. Place sheets of foil on counter top for cooling cookies.
Spread 1 tablespoon or more of flour on large sheet of waxed paper. Place
one quarter of dough on floured paper. Flatten slightly with hands. Turn
dough over and cover with another large sheet of waxed paper. Roll dough
to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove top sheet of waxed paper. Cut out with
floured cutter. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet with large pancake
turner. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Roll out remaining
dough.
Sprinkle with granulated sugar or colored sugar crystals, or leave plain
to frost or decorate when cooled.
Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375F for 5 to 9 minutes, depending on
the size of your cookies (bake smaller, thinner cookies closer to 5
minutes; larger cookies closer to 9 minutes). DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool 2
minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely, then
frost and decorate if desired.
