Sugar Cookies

I got this recipe from Leesa.

1 cup shortening (I use the butter flavor)

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking soda

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

5 cups flour

Cream shortening & sugar together. Add eggs,sour cream, & vanilla. Mix dry ingred. (Soda, salt, bkg powder) with 1 cup flour. Add to creamed mixture, then add the remaining flour, or as much as needed to form soft dough. 

Roll out on floured surface, fairly thick & cut in desired shapes. 

Place on greased cookie sheets & bake 350 9-12min. 

Watch them closely. I personally like mine almost doughy:)  

Frosting:

1 tablespoon butter

2 cups powdered sugar

Pinch of salt

Enough milk to make desired consistency

1 tsp almond or vanilla extract
