Soft Sugar Cookies




Source of Recipe


This recipe is from Leora Sanford of Waco, TX


List of Ingredients




1 cup sour cream
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt




Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


Combine sour cream, sugar, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.


Slowly add the dry ingredients until everything is completely mixed together. Let the dough chill for about 15 minutes.


Form dough into small balls, or use fun cookie cutters.


Bake until LIGHT golden brown - no more than 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they may seem underdone, but they aren't. Just let them cool on the pan and you will find that they are perfectly soft and moist. If you prefer sugar cookies that are a little harder and more crumbly, bake them longer.
