Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Prepare cookie sheet using parchment paper.
- In mixer beat shortening and sugar. Add in egg and mix.
- In separate small bowl dissolve baking soda into sour cream.
- Alternate adding flour and sour cream into mixing bowl.
- Incorporate all for a nice soft dough. Put on counter top.
- Roll the dough out using more flour if needed so it is not sticky.
- Use cookie cutters to make your favorite shapes.
- Place on cookie sheet. Decorate with sprinkles.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edge of cookie is brown.
- Cool and enjoy!
Notes
- These cookies can be cooked longer if you like a crunchy cookie, which my husband does so I make a tray just for him.
- If you want to decorate with frosting, don't add sprinkles. Frosting can be added after the cookies are cooled.
- The original recipe is doubled but I always halve the recipe. The one listed above is the half recipe.
