Sugar Cookies
5 lbs. shortening
10 c sugar, 4# 11
2 ½ c easy eggs
2 Tbsps. vanilla extract
…….
20 c flour, 5# 13
5 tsps. cream of tartar, ¾ oz.
5 tsps. salt, ½ oz.
Combine together dry ingredients, set aside.
Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Scrape bowl and mix again.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.
When ready to bake, dip each cookie in coarse sugar, either blue or regular.
Bake 16 minutes at 300 degrees f., until lightly brown at the edges.
Yield 11 dozen, 2 oz. cookies.
I am not sure where I got this recipe, but I found in my files folder. Couple of questions. First: what are those ##? 4# 11 and the 5# 13? Would anybody have any idea?
Second.This is obviously a commercial recipe. Can someone help me scale down to maybe a dozen or two cookies.
Thank you in advance.
