"GRANDMA GOLDIE'S SUGAR COOKIES"

Yield 3-4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter.
2 cups sugar.
3 eggs.
1 cup sour cream.
1 1/2 teaspoonfuls baking soda.
1 teaspoon salt.
3 3/4 cups all purpose flour.
1 1/2 teaspoonfuls vanilla.
1 teaspoonful lemon (citrus juice or "zest").

Steps:

Cream butter and sugar. Beat eggs then add to mixture then combine thoroughly. Stir baking soda into sour cream and add to mixture. Add flavorings. Add salt and flour and mix well. Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. (You can sprinkle sugar on top of each at this point if desired.) Bake in a pre-heated, 375 degree F oven until done. Check to see if they are raw in the middle, and if done, remove. Let cool on an elevated wire rack. Depending on oven, check after roughly 8 to 10 minutes to see if cookies are done after placing in over. (Experience suggests that starting at around 6 to 8 minutes would be wise.)
