Soft Sugar Cookies

These cookies come out kind of like the soft fluffy lofthouse sugar cookies you can get at the grocery store...only better.

1 c shortening
1 1/2 c sugar
1tsp vanilla
3eggs
5 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk
Cream shortening, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs. Alternating, add dry ingredients and buttermilk. Chill dough for at least 1hr. When you roll out the dough make sure not to reuse the scraps more than 2 or 3 times. That way the cookies will stay nice and cakey.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for around 8 min

    Yes, yes indeed you should...and tell him I'm sorry, that was embarrassing.
