Sour Cream Roll out Cookies

• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Cup Shortening
• 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/2 Cup Butter
• 1/2 Cup Sour cream
• 1 each Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 2/3 Cup Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda

Instructions:
Cream shortening, butter and sugar; add egg and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together; add creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Wrap the dough in waxed paper and chill overnight. Divide dough and roll out 1/4" thick using enough loose flour to prevent sticking. Cut out with cookie cutters and place on greased cookie sheets. Brush each cookie with beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts are best). Bake at 425 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until just very slightly golden- not brown. Dust the cookies with powder sugar when still warm.
Makes 4-5 dozen.
