Until I realized I couldn't have dairy, I had the best sugar cookie, Christmas cut-out cookie recipe and it's from a 1950's Betty Crocker cook book and they are so yummy. Here's the recipe, I have never made it modified with other types of margarine (soy, etc.)
3/4 C soft shortening
1 C sugar
2 eggs (3 egg whites)
1/2 tsp of almond extract ( I always used a little more I like almond flavoring)
2 1/2 Cups of sifted flour (I don't think we sift flour anymore)
1t. baking Powder
1t. salt
Mix first 4 ingredients (sift together the last 3 then add them to the mixture
Chill dough at least 1 hour. Roll out into 1/8" thick and cut into cutter shapes Bake at 400 6-8 minutes, do not over cook. Edges will start to turn brown, they are done! I think the earthy balance buttery spread would be a good substitute and I may try that this year. Then I would just ice them with a mixture of powdered sugar/milk/almong flavoring.........it was like a glaze, but I don't use that anymore, I still use the glaze, but just use water instead of milk. Hope this works if you try the substitutes. Thanks for the frosting recipe
