What can be more fun than baking delicious cookies? Eating them, I suppose. Here are some recipes from my vintage recipe collection for easy and delicious sugar cookies. These are perfect for holidays, birthdays, rainy days, or just spending time baking with the kids, other family or friends. So get out those cookie sheets and get them filled some delicious cookie dough. Just imagine the aroma in your kitchen…oh, yummy!
1 cup margarine
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix margarine, oil, sugars, and eggs together in a large mixing bowl. Sift flour, cream of tartar and baking soda together. Add to the egg mixture and mix well. Mix in the vanilla. This dough will be very sticky. Divide into 3 equal parts and make into rolls. Put into freezer and allow to freeze. Remove from freezer and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with colored sugars, if desired. Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
1 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp soda
5 1/2 to 6 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream shortening. Add sugar and continue creaming until light. Add eggs and sour cream and beat. Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the shortening-sugar-egg-cream mixture. Form dough into walnut sized balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet and flatten with the bottom of a glass. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
NOTE: For holidays, use tiny drops of liquid food coloring in the sugar before rolling the dough balls in it. Red and green coloring is perfect for Christmas, orange for Halloween, orange and brown for Thanksgiving, pastels for Easter, red for Valentine’s Day, etc.
Enjoy!

How to decorate cookies with sprinkles?
I would like to make sugar cookies or butter cookies and decorate them with sprinkles. Do you put them on before you bake the cookies or afterwards and how?
Here’s a recipe with lots of decorating possibilities:
Sugar Cookies with Options
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup sugar
* 3/4 cup butter or margarine
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 egg
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
PREPARATION:
Place sugar and butter/margrine in a microwaveable bowl and heat just until melted. Add vanilla. Break egg into sugar mix bowl, whip slightly to distribute egg white and yolk, then stir into “wet mix.” Sift together and add the three dry ingredients.Stir by hand until a dough is formed.
Place on waxed paper and chill until firm. (If in a hurry, pull off quarter-sized, up to 1 1/2-inch, pieces between palms of hands to form balls.)
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies (see options below) for about 11 to 13 minutes, or until edges just begin to turn light golden brown. Watch for overbaking. Cool 1 minute, then remove from cookie sheet. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
And when it’s summer, mix some of this dough into vanilla ice cream for Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
Options:
Colored Sugar
Mix a drop or more of food coloring with table sugar about 1/2 inch deep in a small Pyrex bowl. Stir until colored. Prepare several colors or tones of colors.
Ball Version
Place a ball of dough in Pyrex bowl and rotate around until covered by colored sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Mash down with the bottom of a drinking glass, a fork or your thumb.
Really Lazy Version
Shape dough into a roll as evenly as possible. Cut into 1/4-inch slices, place on ungreased cookie sheet and dust with colored sugar or other bottled decorations.
Decorative Version
Roll chilled dough out flat and 1/4-inch thick. Use cookie cutters to make shapes. For leaves, cut them freehand. Dust with bottled decorations or colored sugar.
Original Interiors
To above recipe, add 1/2 cup English toffee bits or chocolate chips. Form into balls and mash.
