Here's a recipe posted in rec.food recipes by "Al B" today...


Soft Sugar Cookies

3 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla - mix well. Add dry
ingredients and sour cream alternately starting and ending with dry
ingredients. Roll out to at least 1/2 inch thick and cut out. Bake in
a 375 degree oven for 12-15 min.
If you want you can sprinkle plain or colored sugar on the cookies
before baking. We like to just ice them with regular shortening/10x
sugar icing. Cookies will be soft and cakelike and will keep well if
stored in something like tupperware. We also generally double this
recipe (our shape cutters are larger).
