Valentine's Day is coming up and these are the perfect cookies to send to your valentines. One year Maryn and I made these and gave one to a boy in her church class and when she gave him the cookie he spun around with a smile on his face. It was cute! I love these cookies and they taste really good with cream cheese frosting on top. The other thing I like about this recipe is you don't have to refrigerate the dough. If you have trouble with the cookie cutters sticking have a little bowl of flour handy to dip the cutter in before you cut out the cookies. The secret ingredient that makes these cookies so flavorful is nutmeg.
Sour Cream Cookies
1 cup sugar
¼ cup shortening
¼ cup butter or margarine-softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 2/3 cup flour
½ cups sour cream
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Mix sugar, shortening, margarine, vanilla and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients. Divide dough into three equal parts. Roll each ¼ on lightly floured board. Cut with 2 inch cookie cutter. Sprinkle with sugar put on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake until no indentation remains when touched.
