From Betty Crocker's Cooky Book (the cooky book I grew up on...)

Ethel's Sugar Cookies

3/4 c. shortening (part butter or margarine)
1 c. sugar (granulated)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. lemon flavoring or
       1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Mix shortening, sugar, eggs, and flavoring throughly.  Mesure flour
by dipping or sifting. Stir flour, baking powder, salt together;
blend into wet ingredients.  Chill at least 1 hr.

Heat oven to 400 dF.  Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured
board.  Cut with cooky cutters.  Place on ungreased cooky sheet.  
Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until cookies are a delicate golden color.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

note: if you use self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.
