Grandma Crosser’s Soft Sugar Cookies - Family Recipe

Grandma Crosser always had her cookie jar full and setting on the countertop next to the refrigerator.  We would grab a cookie and milk or 7-up in one of her blue glasses as a snack.  I remember Grandma Crosser having these soft sugar cookies in her cookie jar often.  Many times she left them plain, but sometimes put a lemon frosting on them. 

Ingredients

 

3 cups sugar

2 cups oil

4 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

6 cups flour

6 teaspoons baking powder

3 teaspoons vanilla

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 cups buttermilk (or milk)

Instructions

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Beat the sugar and oil together in a large mixing bowl.  Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and mix until well blended. 

Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together.  Gradually combine with liquid ingredients.  Mix until smooth. 

Drop batter in 1-2 tablespoon amounts onto the baking sheet.  Bake for 5-7 minutes or until edges become slightly brown.  Place on wire racks to cool.
