I was craving some homemade sugar cookies last week and busted out some dough to make these sweet treats. These lovely pumpkins are and 'ode' to my mom because this is how she always made them.
RECIPE FOR EXCELLENT DOUGH:
In a large bowl combine
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 cup butter
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs
Mix and cream together
In a small bowl add
2 TBSP warm water
1 TBSP vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
Stir until soda is dissolved, then add to sugar mixture.
Then add
5 cups Flour (may need to add more until the dough is not sticky and firm enough to roll out)
1 heaping tsp. Baking Powder
Mix, Roll out, Cut Shapes, and Bake at 350ยบ for 8-10 minutes.
Makes about 3 dozen
