Directions:
In a large bowl, beat 1 1/2 c. sugar, shortening and butter until fluffy. Beat in eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl, stir into sugar mixture. Chill at least 30 min. Preheat oven 350ºF. On powdered sugar covered surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out various shapes. Place 1-inch apart on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake 7 to 8 min. or until lightly browned. Gather scraps and repeat rolling and cutting. Cool on rack.

Personal Notes:
Using powder sugar instead of flour to cover the surface when rolling out the dough helps keep cookies from turning out tough and dry.
