EDGAR'S BAKERY RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugars and shortening using an electric mixer.
• Mix on slow speed 30 seconds, then scrape down the bowl with a spatula.
• Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes.
• Slowly add vanilla and beaten egg while mixing.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, mixing on slow speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
• Scoop with an ice-cream scoop and roll in sugar.
