These old-fashioned cookies are a delicious classic made with sour cream, sugar, and flour. Made simply, yet elegant enough for company.
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Combine the shortening and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamed together. With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix for 1 minute.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. With the mixer running, slowly add the flour mixture to the shortening mixture. Mix just until combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour (or overnight).
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Drop the cookie dough by teaspoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool for 1 minute then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
