Sugar Cookies

From my friend Maddy Winward.  I don't love the taste of these, but they are the best to use with kids to shape, cook and look presentable.  I prefer things without shortening.  But...perfect for holiday cookie decorating.

1/2 c shortening
1/2 c butter
1-1/2 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
3-1/2 c flour

Mix and put in fridge for a couple hours in a sealed container.  Shape (1/4 inch thick) and bake 8-12 minutes at 350 degrees.  Cool completely before frosting.
