Grandma L’Amoreaux’s Sour- Cream Cookies:*
1 ½ cups sugar
1 cup sour cream (8 oz. carton.)
1 cup shortening (Crisco or vegetable oil)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon (heaping) baking powder
1 teaspoon (scant) baking soda
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ to one cup walnuts.
Mix ingredients well. Bake @ 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
* Glen Jordan’s wife’s recipe. Copied from Mom’s recipe card 1/10/99.
Memo:
The Jordan’s lived in a white house a few doors down from Grandma - on Oak Street - towards Prospect Park - in Ypsilanti.
After Glen’s wife died, he and Grandma “dated” (sort of). They used to share their cooking. Mom confided in me that he wanted her to move in with him, but she told him that she wasn’t interested!

I am going to make these. One of my favorite cookies are grandma's date cookies. I remember when she would mail them to our house all the way from Michigan. Who does that anymore? Maybe I'll mail you the ones I make just for old times sake.
Can't wait to bake these. I've made the date cookies and I think what makes these cookies so tasty is the Crisco! Not very healthy, but great texture.
Grandma was a wonderful cook. I wish I would have been able to observe her more in the kitchen.
