Sour Cream Cookies

Our Granny (my dad's mother, Helen Mesa), would send us a box of homemade cookies every year. This is one of those cookie recipes.

1 c. shortening or butter
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. baking powder
3 c. flour
1/2 c. sour cream

Mix all ingredients well. Shape into cookie rolls and wrap rolls in wax paper. Refrigerate until the rolls are firm enough to be sliced (about 1 hour). Can also be frozen, and baked without thawing.

(That is the end of Granny's instruction. I'm not sure the cooking time, but I'm assuming the neighborhood of 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees - maybe extra minutes if frozen).
