My meemaw's Kringlas (Norwegian Buttermilk Cookies)

I love these cookies. For those that haven't had them before they are a Norwegian Buttermilk Cookies. They are very light and not very sweet.

1 t baking soda
1 c buttermilk
1 c sugar
1/4 c shortening
1/4 c butter
1 egg
1 t salt
3 c sifted flour
2 t baking powder

Mix soda with buttermilk. Cream sugar, shortening, butter and egg. Add buttermilk mixture, salt, flour and powder. Mix thoroughly; place in refrigerator until stiff. Roll out about diameter of a large pencil; form any shape desired. Take only a small amount of dough at a time. (I recommend flouring your hands so the dough doesn't stick as much). Norwegian shape of Kringla is figure 8. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 450 for about 10 min or until very light brown.
