Old fashion sugar cookies

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Shortening (part butter)
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs; beaten
2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 cup Sour cream
5 cups Cake flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1¼ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Soda

Directions

CREAM

MIX TOGETHER

SIFT TOGETHER

Add flour mixture alternatively with the liquid to the sugar mixture. Chill thoroughly. Roll out and cut with cookie cutter. Sprinkle with sugar and press lightly. Bake in moderate oven (375) for 15 minutes.

I do not use as much salt when I make it. I only use ¾ t. They seem a bit salty to me when made with the full amount of salt.

The hints are from my own experience. The recipe is from a hand-written index card that has been forever in my mother's recipe card box. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by crmcbride@... (Caroline R McBride) on Jul 28, 1997
