2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Shape into 1-1/4-in. balls; roll in nuts.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
