Lucy's Sugar Cookies
Description
This recipe was given to me at my bridal shower by my mother-in-law. I didn't make these cookies until 8 years later at my daughter's 3rd birthday! They turned out better than any other sugar cookies recipe I have tried.

2 eggs
2 C white sugar
1 C shortening (melted)
4 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
5 C flour
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix sugar, soda, cream of tartar, salt and nutmeg with 4 1/2 C flour. Stir in shortening, milk, and milk. Mix until thick and smooth (a nice dough-like consistency - you may need a little extra flour).
Use the other 1/2 C flour to roll out the dough. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter and cut cookies out to desired shape. Place on cookie sheet and bake for ~ 10-12 minutes.
