This recipe came from a high school friend, Robin, whose mother would make these and keep them on hand in her freezer. Robin's mom was the lunch lady at our school. It is a moist, cake-like cookie.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Mix first 3 ingredients together. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Sift together the last four ingredients and mix until well blended.
After chilling for at least 1 hour, drop by teaspoonfuls on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes, or until delicately browned. Yield 5 dozen.
***Note: Watch baking time carefully. 8 minutes may be too long. Cookies will be white on top and light brown around edges when done.

If it was the last day on earth, I'd eat dozens of these cookies. One after the other. Without choking.
