I love holidays because of the yummy foods.

I tried a new sugar cookie recipe. It has buttermilk instead of sour cream. They are yummy and they stay soft. This recipe came from Chalet's friend, Jodi.

Sugar Cookies

2c shortening
2c sugar
2 eggs
pinch of salt
2 c buttermilk
1t baking soda
1 T vanilla
7c flour
Blend shortening and sugar together. Add eggs, salt, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix soda and flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add to sugar mixture. Cover. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 thick. Cut into shapes. Bake @ 350 for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Frost with cream cheese frosting.
