Make Your Own Mustache Bats!

By Sarah Hinnenkamp

Or make your own Thanksgiving turkeys, holiday Santas and cotton tailed bunnies. The possibilities are endless and you can just celebrate the fact that you will have made world famous cookies and you can choose to share them…or not. Send me photos of your cute creations when you’re finished and…enjoy!

Grandma Helen’s Famous Rolled Sugar Cookies

Mustache bats and more

Mix the following ingredients, then set aside:

¾ Cup soft shortening (1/2 Cup softened butter and ¼ Cup Crisco)

1 Cup sugar

2 eggs

½ tsp. Watkins Clear Vanilla

Sift the following ingredients:

2 ½ Cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

Add to above mixture.

Chill for one hour – only remove dough which you are rolling at the time, leave the rest in the fridge. Roll to desired thickness (1/8-1/4 inch), cut, bake at 400º for 5-8 minutes.
