We got this recipe from Natalie Ogan. And we love them.
1 ½ c shortening
2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 c sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
6 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Mix all ingredients to form a sticky dough. Roll out ¼ inch thick, using flour on counter and a rolling pin to prevent sticking. Cut into shapes. Bake 7 to 8 minutes at 350°.
Cool and frost.
