1-2-3 Sugar Cookies

This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law.  It's my go to recipe when I need a quick dessert because I have it memorized and it's sooooo easy to make.

1 C shortening
2 C sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
3 C flour

Combine shortening and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Combine baking powder and flour the add to sugar mixture.  Mix well and drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  Remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool.  Store in a tightly cover container if they last long enough to save any.

These cookies are good because they stay soft and chewy in the middle but a little crunchy on the outside.
