Old Time Sugar Cookies (Aka Grease Cookies) image

This is another old family recipe not sure where it came from but the original recipe called for lard hence the grease cookie name. They turn out very light and melt in your mouth. The batter is perfect for spooning on the cookie sheet or my favorite a mini ice cream scoop or a cookie dough gun.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for me. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of sugar cookies, but these were surprisingly good. I think it was the combination of the butter and shortening that made them so delicious.

These cookies were really easy to make, and they turned out great! I used a cookie press to make fun shapes, and my kids loved them.

I'm not a big fan of shortening, so I used all butter in these cookies. They turned out fine, but I think they would have been better with half butter and half shortening.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for me, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
