Mom's refrigerator cookies or "Bubbe Cookies"

These are my mom's famous vanilla sugar cookie. Very easy. My kids call them Bubbe cookies. Even when she was very sick she still made these for everyone.

  • Bubbe Cookies
  • 1/2 cup butter or margerine
  • 1/2 cup vegatable shortening (like Crisco)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • Cream butter, shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla together. Add flour. Using wax paper, shape the dough into logs and then roll in sprinkles. Wrap in the wax paper. Refridgerate for 4 hours or more (if you put these in the freezer the cookies will be ready in about an hour). Slice and back at 350 degrees until just turning golden. Cool and eat! makes dozens!
