Grandma’s Sugar Cookies

4 c. flour

1 tsp. Baking soda

1 tsp. Baking powder

1 c. shortening

1 ¾ c. sugar

 ½ tsp. Salt

1 c. thick sour cream

2 eggs

1 tsp. Vanilla

Mix the shortening, sugar, and eggs together. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Roll out on a lightly floured board to about ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter (or an upside down drinking glass) dipped in flour or sugar and cut out the cookies. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and lightly sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Do not let them get too brown. They should be a nice white color.
