Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies {Christina Lund's recipe, a friend from Cleavland days}

1/2 c. shortening (or butter)

1 c. sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

2 2/3 c. flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 c. sour cream

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix shortening, sugar, egg, and vanilla thoroughly. blend dry ingredients together, add to sugar mixture alternately with sour cream. Divide dough; roll out to 1/4 in. thick on well-floured surface. Cut with cookie cutter, place on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar or leave plain if you want to frost them.

Bake 8 to 10 min- or until lightly browned. These bake up super moist, thick, and delicious!
