Mom’s Angel Cookies1/21/2015 Precious good friends!
A few years ago, I had surgery for a shoulder replacement. My friend Sue Barnes brought over an ice cream pail of the best sugar cookies and shared the recipe with me! I have gotten so many of my recipes from friends who have generously shared their many recipes with me over the years! Once in awhile I do get adventurous and try new recipes I find in magazines or cookbooks, but the best are from friends - those tried and tested ones! For this recipe, do use shortening. The first time I used butter in this recipe, thinking butter makes it better. That was not the case with this recipe - they were not like Sue’s at all! I called her and she told me that she always uses shortening, like Crisco. Mom’s Angel Cookies: 2 cups white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups shortening 2 eggs 2 tsp cream of tarter 2 scant tsp soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla 4 cups flour Roll in balls and press with fork dipped in sugar. Bake 10 min at 350 degrees, Makes 5 dozen. Another thing Sue shared with me is that she uses a cookie scoop to dish up her cookies. It looks like a small ice cream scoop and comes in different sizes. I told Pa Lloyd about it and he went out and bought me one! I love it! Cookies all come out the same size and it seems to go so much faster dishing them up! Mine is medium sized so I make the cookies fairly large. Have a great week!

Thanks for the tip Kathy, Now I can go there to get recipes instead of copying them off. Your recipes are always so good. I have made your Sausage and Cabbage soup several times, always getting good reviews.
