The Sugar Cookie

Combine:

3 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Set aside.

Cream:

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Then add and combine:

1/2 cup sour cream

Then add flour mixture and blend well. Roll out on floured surface to a generous 1/4" thickness. Cut out. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. The key to these is to roll them out a little thicker and not overcook!

Enjoy!
