Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup large vegetable shortening
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 5 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder, heaping
• 2 tablespoons vanilla
• 5 cups flour (enough to make a soft dough)

• 3 stir until combined.
• 4 roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut in desired shapes.
• 5 bake 7-8 minutes at 375 f until just done but not brown.
• 6 the recipe is written as i heard it. the term "large cup" of shortening is as dictated. i tend to use a slightly heaping cup.
• 7 if i am in doubt about the cookie being done, i will lift a cookie off of the sheet and look at its' underside but you really don't want the cookies to brown because then they are over-done.
