The Best Sugar Cookies

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars

INSTRUCTIONS
These are my absolute favorite sugar cookies that I have ever made and they are also easy, too. They are soft and chewy with a wonderful flavor, not at all floury and pasty. I like to leave the dough in the frige overnight if I am going to roll and cut them out. Frosted or unfrosted, they are really very very good. Cheryl

1/2 c shortening
1/2 c butter
2 c sugar
3 whole eggs
1 t nutmeg (optional)
1 t lemon extract (or vanilla)
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
5 T sour cream
4-5 c flour (4 c if rolling in balls and flattening with bottom of sugar coated glass and 5 c for rolling out and cutting)
1 t soda

Cream shortening, butter, sugar; add eggs, lemon, vanilla and sour cream. Mix till creamy; add sifted dry ingredients: salt, soda, and flour. Chill for several hours or overnight. Either roll into balls and flatten with bottom of sugar coated glass or roll out and cut out with cutters. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, depending on how thick that you cut them. Decorate as desired.
