- 1 Cream sugar and shortning. Add sour cream, eggs, and almond/vanilla. Mix well.
- 2 In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
- 3 Add to creamed mixture until well blended. Remember, the more you mix, the tougher your dough will be.
- 4 Chill for a few hours (at least 3-4). The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
- 5 Roll out (I use a floured pastry cloth), and cut with a cookie cutter. Flour cutter between each cookie to prevent sticking.
