INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 10 mins/batch + cooking
- Servings: 4 1/2 dozen
- Preparation Time: 70 mins + chilling
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpse flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, sour cream and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt, gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the cookie dough to 1/4-in thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in heart-shaped cookie cutter (I used a variety of sizes and adjusted cooking time).
Place 1 in. apart on baking sheets lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting see Cookie Frosting.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
The cookies are plain, not overly sweet. The frosting brings in the sweetness without being overly sugary.
