Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
(about 3 dozen)
Ingredients:
1 cup Shortening
2 cups Sugar
3 large Fresh Eggs
1 cup Sour Cream
½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
½ tsp. Almond Extract
5 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp. Salt
½ tsp Baking Soda
3 tsp. Baking Powder
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together shortening and sugar. Now add the eggs, one at a time. Then mix in sour cream and the two extracts. In a different bowl, combine the dry ingredients well. Then start adding the dry mixture to the wet mixture a little at a time. Mix until well combined. Mixture will be thick. Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut-out cookies using your favorite cookie cutters. Place on a parchment lined cookie pan and place in a pre-heated 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Cookie will be white with lightly browned edges. Remove from oven and let sit in pan for a minute. Then move cookies to a cooling rack. When fully cooled, frost and decorate with your favorite items.
Notes: If you don’t want cut-out cookies, just use a small scoop and place them two inches apart on the pan. Watch when baking, as they may take a minute or two longer in the oven.
