"Store Bought" Sugar Cookies

  • Number of Servings: 48
Ingredients
1 cup shortening(I use Crisco)2 cups sugar1 cup sour cream1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla2 eggs4 1/2 - 5 cups all-purpose flourPinch of salt1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
Mix the shortening, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and eggs together. Stir 4 1/2 cups flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix. Now, the dough works best if cooled, so refrigerate the dough (in the bowl no need to cover the bowl) for 45 minutes. Generously flour your counter top and roll out the cookies. I had to flour the dough as well to keep it from sticking to my rolling pin. Cut the cookies, I used the rim of a drinking glass to cut my cookies. I was able to roll and cut 48 cookies total. Make sure you use non-stick foil or butter/flour your pan and bake them at 400 degrees until just barely light golden brown on the bottom, for me this was 9-10 minutes. After cookies have cooled you can frost and decorate.
