Lydia's Sugar Cookie Recipe


1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter or margarine

1/2 cups shortening

2 eggs

2 3/4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

colored sugar* or candy sprinkles

Heat oven to 400.
Stir sugar, margarine, shortening and eggs in large bowl until mixed.
Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.
Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls. Roll balls in colored sugar or candies until coated.
Put about two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. ( make sure you put them two inches apart, or they'll stick together!!)
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden and cracked on the top. Right away, take cookies off cookie sheet. Makes about 6 dozen cookies...
MMMMMMMM Dee-wishes! They are REALLY good with milk! ;) I put sprinkles on my cookies.
They are actually called, Rainbow Sprinklers!

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
