Sugar Cookies I

== Description ==
Ella was a neighbor who was ten years older than god when I was a child. She always had these in her cookie jar, and usually would bake a dozen every day since the dough keeps so well. It is one of my all time favorites and I have never tasted them anywhere else.
== Ingredients ==
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1½ cups brown sugar
* ½ cup white sugar
* 1 cup shortening
* ¼ cup milk
* 2 eggs
* 2 tsp baking powder
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tsp vanilla
== Directions ==
# Cream sugars and shortening.
# Add milk, vanilla and eggs and mix well.
# Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well.
# Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
# With floured hands roll teaspoonful of dough into a ball.
# Place on cookie sheet.
# With three fingers together, press ball flat, leaving ridges down the middle.
# Bake in 400°F oven for 9 to 12 minutes or until lightly gold.
