Grandmother's Soft Sugar Cookies

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 12 cups sugar
• 1 cup lard or 1 cup Crisco
• 1 cup sour milk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (original recipe just says soda)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 cups flour
• flavoring, as desired

1. Combine eggs, salt, sugar, lard and baking powder and beat smooth.
2. Then add soda to milk and while foaming add to first mixture and beat smooth again, then add flour a little at a time to keep dough smooth.
3. It will be too soft to roll so chill for an hour or leave overnight.
4. Roll dough, adding a little flour, so it will handle a little easier but use as small an amount as possible because dough too stiff makes hard, dry cookies.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
