In my opinion, this is the best sugar cookie recipe ever. Just don't forget the cream of tartar- they're never as good without it!
3 cups flour
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Sift together flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, sugar, and vanilla and mix well. Now add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix well. Roll out to about 1/4 an inch thickness (I like them on the thick side) and cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool and frost with your favorite icing.
