Steps:
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack. Serve as is or ice as desired. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.

AUNT ANNIE'S SUGAR COOKIES
A wonderful vegan sugar cookie. I borrowed this recipe, but can't remember where I got it from. This is the title it came with, though, so thank you to the originator! I originally found it while looking for a recipe for Christmas cut out cookies. This one works great! I have altered it ever so slightly. I like to roll them thin (but not too thin). They get eaten very quickly, especially warm out of the oven. By the way, I'm fully guessing at the yield. It depends on what size cutters you use, and how thin you roll them out. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together.
- In a large bowl, fully cream margarine and sugar together.
- Add soured milk alternately with the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
- Form dough into a ball, wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Cut the dough into quarters and roll out one quarter at a time (it rolls and cuts the best if it is chilled, so keep the remaining sections in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them).
- I use a pastry mat to cut my dough out on. I have never had a problem with the dough being sticky, but you can lightly flour your work surface, if necessary (beware that it might change the flavor a bit if you over flour).
- Transfer the cut out cookies to an ungreased baking sheet. I like to sprinkle a little sugar on the tops of them before baking. My children like to put sprinkles on top first. Or, you can leave them plain and put icing on afterwards. We have too big a sweet tooth here to eat them plain.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 7-9 minutes. Do not brown!
- Enjoy!

AUNT NELDA'S SUGAR COOKIES
This is my great aunt's famous sugar cookie recipe! They're her signature, and she brings them to every family gathering. I know there are a ton of other sugar cookie recipes on Zaar, but I didn't see any quite like this. They're scrumptious! She told me she got them from The Good Housekeeping Cookbook, Hearst Magazines, 1949. The prep time does not include time to chill overnight, and the serving size is an estimate!

Steps:
- Measure 3/4 cup sugar into a large bowl.
- Add oil and stir until well blended.
- Break eggs into small bowl and beat well with egg beater.
- Stir, with vanilla flavoring, into shortening mixture.
- Measure sifted flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt into a flour sifter; sift into a medium bowl.
- Gradually add flour mixture to shortening mixture, beating with a spoon after each addition.
- Chill bowl of cookie dough overnight, or until dough can be easily handled.
- Drop dough by FULL teaspoonsful onto greased cookie sheets.
- Sprinkle with granulated sugar (Omit sugar if cookies will be frosted).
- Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake in 350 degree F oven 10-12 minutes or until done.
- Remove from oven and with broad spatula and slide at once onto rack to cool.
- NOTE: For cut-out cookies, roll to 1/8 thickness on lightly-floured board.
- Cookies will be harder than the drop cookies--use flour sparingly.
- This dough may also be rolled, chilled, and sliced like refrigerator cookies.
Tips:
- Use high-quality butter for a richer flavor and texture. Soften the butter to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar to ensure a smooth, even mixture.
- Chill the dough before rolling and baking. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a variety of cookie cutters to create different shapes and designs.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
Conclusion:
Aunt Aggie's Sugar Cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these cookies are a great choice for beginner bakers. The result is a delicious, buttery cookie that is sure to please everyone.
