Ingredients:  
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
1/2 t. salt
2 eggs

Cream together real well.

Add 1/2 cup sour milk - mix well
Add another 1/2 cup sour milk to which 1 level tsp of soda has been added, after stirring well (the soda and the milk) then add 2 cups flour with 1 rounded tsp of baking powder - mix well

Add 1 T. vanilla, then add enough flour to make a dough that can just be handled. Keep your board well floured to keep dough from sticking, but do not knead it anymore than you have to - too much flour makes a hard cookie.
Roll out - cut in shapes

12 minutes 375

You will need about 3 cups of extra flour

This is my great grandmother Taft's sugar cookie recipe. It takes time to get the feel of making these cookies, but they are worth the time and effort.
