1/2 ts Salt
1 c Margarine
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 lg Egg
1/2 c Sour cream

or glass, cut out cookies. Use a spatula to carefully pick up and
place cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. 5.
Lightly brush cookies with lemon juice and sprinkle with additional
sugar. Use colored sugar for decorative look. 6. Bake in preheated
375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Do not
overcook. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Complete
baking using one part cookie dough at a time, greasing the pan each
time.

Yield: about 5-6 dozen cookies.
