These are “Come and get them, gang!” cookies. Large, soft, and oh so good! Try ‘em!

• 1 C. butter
• 2 C. sugar
• 1 C. sour cream
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. lemon extract
• 5 C. flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 4 eggs 

Cream butter and add sugar slowly. Add eggs and flavoring. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with sour cream to the butter and sugar mixture. Roll into balls and then into Christmas (red and green) sprinkles. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes around 5 dozen cookies. You can always freeze a portion of the cookies for later.
