McDonald's Sugar Cookies

OK, I have a confession. My kids eat at McDonald's a lot. It is down the street and we sure take advantage of how close it is. Spencer loves the sugar cookies there and we found a recipe that is pretty close. If you'd like them a little sweeter, roll them in sugar before you bake them. We love these because you don't have to go through all the work of rolling them out. Enjoy!

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 large egg

2 tablespoons milk

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine

1/2 cup Crisco

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift dry ingredients, all except sugar, together. Cream margarine, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat in dry ingredients until smooth. Blend in milk. Drop by tablespoon about 3 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Don't kid yourself, just double it. This doesn't make nearly enough.
