Serving Size: 24

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.33 Cups colored decorating sugar
• 0.67 Cups shortening
• 0.67 Cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 Cups white sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Teaspoons baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a small bowl with colored decorating sugar for coating the cookies.
2. In a stand mixer, beat the shortening and softened butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add the white sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together and is well combined.
4. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll each ball in the colored sugar to coat, then place them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are light brown. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking.
6. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your Velvety Vanilla Sugar Cookies with a Crunchy Sugar Coating!
