Several years ago I had the best sugar cookie ever & none have compared since.
Anyone have a recipe that is delicious?! :)

I'll be back later with my butter cookie recipe, which is basically a yummy sugar cookie.

But I also want to say I think the sugar cookie recipe on the package of Butter Flavor Crisco sticks is really really good. You'd use the butter crisco instead of butter or margarine. I heard Crisco has changed its formula to a zero-transfat, and some people say it's making their baking (cakes and cookies, and icings) have a different taste and texture. :shrug Haven't made any in a while. I'll try to post my recipe...it's really simple, just flour, butter, and a couple other things...need to find it.

This is the recipe that I use. I use real butter to make them so I don't know how they would turn out using anything else.

Sugar Cookies
4 1/2 Cups sifted flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 Cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 Cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Makes approximately 40 3-inch cookies. Preheat oven to 375 F.
Butter cookie baking sheets.
Sift together dry ingredients.
Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the dry ingredients, 1 Cup at a time, alternating with the milk and vanilla, beating well after each addition.
Wrap and chill for at least one hour.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces.
Roll 1 piece at a time on a floured board and cut with large cookie cutters.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Cool on racks.

Sugar Cookie Icing
3 Cups powdered sugar
1/3 Cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.
