Got to admit, it's been a LONG while since I have baked these cookies, but gotta let you know I put 4 stars beside it in the book when previously making them! Gonna HAVE to get busy and make these before Christmas for sure!

1 cup shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sour milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cream shortening and sugar; add eggs. Stir together all dry ingredients and add alternately with milk soured with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Stir in vanilla extract. Drop by tablespoon 2 inches apart; sprinkle with sugar and bake at 350 to 375 degrees F for 10 minutes.
