1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup shortening
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour

  • Place into ungreased cookie sheet, press down in center with finger.
  • Bake 425° for 8-10 minutes.
  • I lised only baking time, not prep time.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure the ingredients blend properly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a lighter cookie.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the flour before measuring to ensure the cookies are light and airy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • Do not overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating.
