Sour Cream Sugar Cookies


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.
