BAKERY STYLE SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine butter, shortening and sugar. Beat until fluffy. Turn mixer down and add egg, vanilla and almond extract. Add baking powder. Sift in and flour* and cornstarch and mix thoroughly. *Start with 3 1/2 cups of flour, and if the dough seems too soft add the last 1/2 cup of flour. If it seems too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water.
• Lightly flour your working surface and shape dough into a large ball.
• No refrigeration necessary.
• Roll dough out to desired thickness using a rolling pin (I usually do 1/4- 3/8″) and cut into shapes. Add flour to dough if it feels too sticky but a nice soft dough is what you want. Carefully transfer cut out cookie shapes with a spatula to a baking sheet.
• Bake on baking sheets at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. Cookies will be soft. Let sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully moving to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting.
