Score!</p> <p>I do reccommend putting the cut out cookies in the freezer for a bit so that they keep their shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugar-cookie-recipe-needed#post-619877 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:50:49 +0000 pelikila 619877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: Yeah, you really have to want some cookies to use that recipe! I usually only make it around Christmas time and give a bunch away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugar-cookie-recipe-needed#post-619871 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:47:39 +0000 wheres_c 619871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: thanks for the tip. The link that @fussygal posted also mentions that. </p> <p>Usually I am not super concerned, but I am trying to make cross cookies for LO's Baptism. I gave it a trial run yesterday before posting and the crosses looked like shamrocks. SO asked if I baked st pattys cookies. #fail.</p> <p>@pelikila: thanks so much for sharing the family recipe. 9 dozen!</p> <p>@bpcmarj: I'm all for that! Have you ever tried cutting shapes?</p> <p>Seriously everyone thank you so much. I Will post pics once I try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugar-cookie-recipe-needed#post-619790 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:17:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 619790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Ina Garten's shortbread cookie recipe!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/shortbread-cookies-recipe/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/shortbread-cookies-recipe/index.html</a></p> <p>Here's a tip: if you want the shape to hold, keep the cookies as thin as possible AND chill them before you bake them. I keep the cut cookies on the cookie sheets in the fridge for at least an hour before i put them in the oven. Annoying, but totally worth it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugar-cookie-recipe-needed#post-619765 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:04:11 +0000 pelikila 619765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my great grandmother's recipe.</p> <p>Grandma Olivia's Sugar Cookies<br /> Approx. 9 dozen cookies</p> <p>1 cup margarine, softened (2 sticks)<br /> 1 cup granulated sugar<br /> 1 cup powdered sugar<br /> 2 eggs<br /> 1 scant cup vegetable oil<br /> 1 tsp. vanilla extract<br /> 4-1/2 cups flour<br /> 1 tsp. baking soda<br /> 1 tsp. cream of tartar<br /> 1/2 tsp. salt</p> <p>Cream margarine and sugars together. Add eggs and oil and mix well. Add vanilla extract. Sift together dry ingredients. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Chill dough (at least 1 hour). Preheat oven to 375° F. Make dough into balls the size of a walnut. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press each ball with cookie press. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. </p> <p>Grandma Olivia always used the end of an old plastic spool of thread as a cookie press for these cookies. She dipped the spool in sugar between each pressing. The end of the spool looked like a sectioned pie, which gave the cookies a flower-like appearance. You can also roll out the dough and use cookie cutters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugar-cookie-recipe-needed#post-619674 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:13:34 +0000 bpcmarj 619674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make sugar cookies from a bag mix, so I am no help!

Tastes sooo good with the bits of orange peel in it. I make it with powdered sugar frosting. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/sugar-cookie-cutouts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/sugar-cookie-cutouts/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugar-cookie-recipe-needed#post-619450 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 23:51:34 +0000 wheres_c 619450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a recipe that works well with cookie cutters!<br /> I made cookies today and while they were super tasty, they lost the shape that i cut with the cutter.<br /> It doesnt have to be a sugar cookie....but no chips or raisins! </p>
