SO-EASY SUGAR COOKIES 
3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. shortening (I use butter flavor Crisco)
1/3 c. oil
1 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. almond extract (I use vanilla)
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In bowl combine sugar, shortening, oil, milk, almond extract and egg; mix well. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Spread evenly in ungreased 15x10 inch jelly roll pan. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp. sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

(I omit the 1 tbsp. sugar. Bake as directed. Cool and then frost with powdered sugar icing.)
