Sour Cream Drops

*like Farm House Cookies, only better

Cream together:
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar

Beat in:
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla

Add dry ingredients:
2 2/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.

Bake on greased cookie sheet at 425 for 7-8 minutes or until cookies start to brown on edges. Remove to wire rack to cool.

The recipe also comes with a frosting recipe, but I've never made it because the cookies are good enough on their own. But if you want to try it, here it is:

In a small saucepan combine:
4 Tbsp butter (let it melt)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
6-8 tsp hot water (enough to achieve a spreading consistency)

Spread on cooled cookies.
