SUGAR COOKIES (NO EGGS) 
1 c. sugar
1 c. sour milk
1 tsp. salt
Flour

1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream together sugar and shortening. Add salt and baking soda to milk and dissolve. Sift 2 cups flour with baking powder. Add milk mixture alternately with flour mixture. Stir in enough flour to make dough stiff. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead in flour until dough is not sticky.

Shape into balls of about 1 cup of dough. Roll dough to about 3/8" thickness and cut in desired shapes. Bake at 425 degrees until edges of cookies begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on a clean towel.

Made these cookies due to an egg allergy, however now may use this as my standard sugar cookie recipie. Is much easier dough to work with than regualar sugar cookie recipies, finished product holds together for young children to ice, and tastes great (and is also nut free!). Thanks for this recipe!

I love these cookies! I was trying different recipes, thinking of my step-grandson's allergies. I used butter instead of shortening, but they came out fabulously! At first I wasn't that impressed, they are less sweet than some cookies, but on the second batch I topped them with a glass dipped in sugar. Meanwhile I tried one, then tried another, and discovered that I REALLY like these cookies! Lol! Five stars!
