Betty Crocker's Old-Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies
These delicious and not-too-sweet cookies are a classic from the 1963 Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book.
Ingredients
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 ⅔ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda

- ½ cup sour cream
- Optional glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 tsp. milk
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425-f degrees.
- Mix shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla thoroughly.
- Blend the dry ingredients; add to the sugar mixture alternately with sour cream.
- Divide dough; roll out to 1/4″ thick on well-floured counter. Cut with 2″ cutter; place on a parchment lined baking sheet. If not icing the cookies, you can at this point sprinkle them with sugar.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool.
- To make glaze: Mix the powdered sugar and milk and whisk well. Add food coloring if using. Glaze the cookies and set aside to let the icing set up.
