1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. dairy sour cream

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add combined dry ingredients alternately with sour cream, mixing well after each addition. Chill several hours or overnight.

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with 3 inch round cookie cutter (or use the open face of a glass). Place on well greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
