Old Fashioned Sugar Cookie Recipe
I absolutely love old fashioned sugar cookies and
pineapple so this recipe for sugar cookies combines both plus some
walnuts for extra crunch. These
cookies are great for afternoon tea or
for a baby shower treat.
You can even make them smaller for a tiny sugar
cookie treat. Just place the dough onto cookie sheets by the
1/2 tablespoon. Reduce the cooking time to 7 or 8 minute or
until slightly brown around the edges. Enjoy!
Old Fashioned Sugar Cookie Recipe Ingredients
• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup vegetable shortening
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Directions for Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
Your oven should be warmed to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening, sugar,
and egg yolks. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and
baking soda.
The lemon juice should be added to the evaporated
milk.
Beginning with the flour mixture, alternately add
the dry mix and the milk to the creamed ingredients.
Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
Stir pineapples and walnuts into mixture.
Beat egg white in a small bowl until stiff then
fold the egg whites into the cookie dough.
Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Drop
sugar cookie dough 3 inches apart onto cookie pan by rounded
tablespoons.
Spray the back of a spoon with cooking spray and
use to flatten each cookie. You may need to recoat the spoon
occasionally if the sugar cookie dough begins to stick to the spoon.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the
sugar cookies are lightly brown around the edges. Immediately
remove the old fashioned sugar cookies from the cookie sheet and
cool on wire racks.
Note: For just a bit more flavor and
decoration, sprinkle cookies with a bit of sugar cinnamon, and
nutmeg before baking. Freshly grated nutmeg is the best!
These old fashioned sugar cookies should be
stored in an airtight container after they are completely cooled.
