Recipe - Peggy Rameys Sugar Cookies

1 1/8 cup Confectioners sugar (see my
note at end)
1 1/8 cup Granulated sugar
1 1/8 cup Crisco oil
2 Sticks real butter (not
margerine)
2 Eggs
One half tablespoon Salt (1 One half teaspoons)
One half tablespoon Vanilla
One half tablespoon Baking soda
5 One half cup Allpurpose flour

This is the cookie recipe I was talking about. This is the one I scaled
down from our cafeteria recipe. It is wonderful, it's easy, and it keeps
well in the cookie jar. Our cafeteria manager doesn't make these too often
because of the new guidelines for fats, but when she does, the kids devour
them (and the teachers, too).

(Note: I don't usually measure the 1/8 cup...I just heap the top of the 1
cup measure a bit.)

Cream sugar, oil, and butter. Add eggs and vanilla. With a spoon, stir in
the flour, salt, and soda. Roll into balls the size of a walnut. Roll the
balls in granulated sugar.

Place balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly with a glass
that has been dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees until firm, but not
brown, about 810 minutes. Remove to rack and cool completely.

Makes 56 dozen cookies.
