Million Dollar Sugar Cookies

• 2 cups solid shortening
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar (for top of cookies)

1. Cream together the first four ingredients until smooth.
2. Add baking soda and salt.
3. Add flour one cup at a time and mix until well blended.
4. Using a soup spoon, scoop out some dough and place it in your palm. Using both hands, roll into a ball and place on a cookie sheet, leaving room for it to spread.
5. Once you have filled the sheet with balls, place 1/2 cup sugar into a little container, and dip the bottom of a drinking glass into it and use it to flatten dough balls. Flatten each ball until it is about 1/3 inch thick. Dip the glass into the sugar again after you flatten each ball.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
