Old Fashioned Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

I got this from my Aunt Bobbi, who in turn got it from her best friend Sherri

1/2 cup shortning

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup sour cream

2 3/4 cups flour

Cream shortning, and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined. Add in sour cream. Last add the flour. Roll as thin as you like, or not. I like my sugar cookies on the thick side.

Bake at 350 until done.

You can sprinkle with sugar before baking, or frost when they are cooled. Either way, very tasty.
