4 1/2 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda

Here goes an Old fashioned sugar cookie recipe. This recipe makes
soft, fat sugar cookies. Great big ones too.

Stir together flour, baking powder, soda, salt and nutmeg. In a
large bowl beat shortening for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat until
fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and lemon extract beat well. Add flour
mixture, beating until well mixed. Divide in half. Cover and chill
3 hours or until easy to handle.

For large cookies, roll dough 1/2" thick. Cut into rounds with a 3"
cookie cutter. For small cookies, roll dough 3/8" thick and cut
into rounds with a 2" cookie cutter. Place 2-1/2" apart on
ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with addition sugar. Colored red
and green sugar is nice for Christmas time.

Bake in a 375?F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and cool.

Yield: 24 large or 48 small cookies

The large are the best. It looks like a nice big sugar cookie.
