2 c. sugar
1 c. lard
3 eggs
1 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream sugar and lard. Add eggs and beat well. Add remaining ingredients and enough flour by the cup or less to make a stiff dough enough to roll out. Roll on floured pastry board and cut out cookies with cutters. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Frost when cool.
