When a cookie recipe instructs you to cream sugar and shortening, it means to vigorously mix the two ingredients together until they are well combined, light, and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the mixture, which helps to create a lighter texture in the finished cookies. Typically, this is done using a hand mixer or stand mixer, but it can also be done by hand with a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon. The goal is to ensure that the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes pale in color.
