Banny'S Southern Cream Cookies

• 1 cup shortening
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups chopped black walnuts
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
2. Cream the shortening with 2 cups of the white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and sour cream; mixing well.
3. Stir in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into the shortening mixture to make a stiff dough. Add the chopped black walnuts.
4. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Mix the 3 tablespoons with the ground cinnamon. Grease the bottom of a small glass. Dip it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and gently press the cookies to flatten the balls of dough slightly.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 15 minutes or until centers are done.
