How to Make Big White Soft Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and shortening until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
  7. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
