Sugar Cookies

From Margaret

1 c. shortening ( I use butter)

1 3/4 c. sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 c. sour cream

4 c. flour

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients. Alternate flour mixture and sour cream into the butter mixture. Roll out on a well floured surface and cut into shapes to bake or scoop using a large cookie scoop and drop on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375º for 8-10 minutes. Frost with butter cream icing when cookies are cooled.
