Sour Cream Cookies

2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
Walnut halves
Sugar

Oven: 350 degrees

In a bowl, cream the butter thoroughly. Gradually beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beating well. Blend in lemon rind, juice and orange rind. Continue beating until thoroughly blended.

Add flour, baking powder, soda, and salt alternately with the sour cream, beating well. Drop by measuring tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto greased baking sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with sugar, and decorate with a walnut half. Bake about fifteen minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to racks to cool. Makes about three dozen cookies.
