Puffy sugar cookies

This recipe comes from my husband's mother - the cookies are soft and fluffy, and they do puff up, so use with simple cookie cutters (outlines) as opposed to patterned ones.

1/2 cup Crisco
1 1/2 cups sugar

Cream those together

Add 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 eggs

Sift together 3 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp.baking powder and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Add alternately with 1 cup sour cream

Roll out 1/4 inch thick.

375 degrees for 8 minutes.

The recipe does not say so, but I chill an hour or so before rolling out
