Sugar Cookie Recipe

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. lard or shortening
2 c. sugar
2 Eggs (Extra Large or Jumbo)
1 c. sour cream
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1 t. vanilla
1/4 t. salt
4 c. flour

Mix together, until smooth. Chill 4-6 Hours. Roll and Bake @ 375 degrees for 10-12 min.

Frostening:

4 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. real butter
2 t. white vanilla
1 t. almond extract

Dilute frostening with milk as necessary to obtain desired consistency.

This is the recipe I used for my How-To project on how to roll out and cut out sugar cookies.
