Sister Carlson's Sugar Cookies

Sister Carlson is one of my heroes, and an amazing cook on top of that!  She is the wife of my singles' ward bishop, both of whom played a key role in Brett and I meeting.  Sister Carlson is a caterer, and these cookies are bakery quality.  Beautiful and tasty as holiday gifts!

4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
1 c. sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

Preheat oven to 350.  In large bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.  Cut in shortening until mixture resembles tiny pebbles.  In separate bowl, mix together milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and baking soda.  Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir just until combined.  Cover and chill.  Roll 1/4" to 3/8" thick on floured surface.  Cut shapes.  Bake on greased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes (cookies should still be white).
