Soft cookies
#14
This is the recipe that my DD gave me
TERRI'S TEA CAKES
2 cups sugar 1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs 2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla 2 Tbsp sweet milk
1 cup shortening 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
Mix sugar, eggs, vanilla, shortening, soda, baking powder and milk together in large bowl. Work flour in a little at a time until mixed thouroughly. Roll dough into balls about the size of a quater and placed on greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with fingers. Bake at 350 until lightly brown.
She and my sister both make these and they are always soft.

Sound yummy! I would really go back to checking your oven temperature and shave a minute or so off your bake time. There's no butter and its all white sugar, I can't see where there is anything else that would affect the softness of the cookie. Don't trust the accuracy, get a thermometer and bake a few at a time for just one or two minutes less...see if that makes a difference.
