Swedish Sugar Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream the margarine/butter, shortening and sugars until smooth. Then add eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and blend. Then add this mixture, a little at a time, to the bowl of wet ingredients until you have a nice, smooth, cookie batter.

5. 5

   Grandmother liked to roll the dough into small, one-inch balls and then roll them in an additional layer of powdered sugar (pictured).

6. 6

   I prefer to make them as drop cookies without the extra calories of the extra powdered sugar (trust me, they are perfectly sweet without).

7. 7

   Place them on lightly greased cookie sheets. They will spread a bit so give them an inch or so on each side for spreading as they cook. Cook at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies; 10-12 minutes for crunchier. Enjoy!!
