SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES




Source of Recipe


SANDY


List of Ingredients




5 c. sifted flour
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp
baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
1 c. sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla (and several drops of almond extract(optional) )


Recipe



Shift dry ingredients together. Cream sugar, shortening and eggs. Add vanilla and almond extract. Stir in sour cream and gradually add flour mixture. Roll out and cut. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 8 to 10 minutes at 425 degrees.

Notes by Sandy: You can top them with icing or a glaze of confectioners sugar and vanilla with food coloring of your choice after they cool. or put a nut on top or sugar and cinnamon or other cookie topping on top before baking. A very versatile cookie. They freeze well too. (I like them plain right out of the oven)
