OLD FASHIONED SOUR CREAM COOKIES
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. Farm Stand Pure Vanilla
2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. fresh grated Nutmeg or ground nutmeg
1/2 cup full fat sour cream

Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the shortening and sugar for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and mix until just combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix again until completely combined. Don’t overmix.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on the pan for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container.
