Sugar Cookies

I made these "monster" sugar cookies for a Halloween party we had. They didn't turn out as cute as I thought they would but they were delicious!!

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups shortening 

1 1/3 cups butter

3 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1 Tbs. + 1 tsp. almond extract 

7 cups flour

1 Tbs. + 1 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. salt

Directions:

1) preheat oven to 350

2) in a bowl cream together the butter, shortening & sugar. Stir in the eggs and almond extract. Stir in the flour, baking powder powder & salt until dough comes together. 

3) bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Remove after baking and let cool on a wire rack, then first & decorate!
