MMMMMMM.....Sugar Cookies!!!

I have the best recipe for sugar cookies. They are soft and fluffy not flat and crunchy. If that's the way you like them, don't use this recipe. Now in this recipe you use sour cream, that is what makes these cookies light and fluffy. I know it sounds weird to put sour cream in cookie dough but trust me, these are the best!! I took these to a family reunion yesterday and they were the first dessert gone!

COOKIE DOUGH:


2 c. Sugar
2/3 c. Butter (Melted)
3 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla ( I use just a titch more)
1 c. Sour Cream
5 c. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp. Salt

Cream together sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Then add your sour cream, baking soda, baking powder, flour. Its easier to add your flour last so that everything else gets mixed in well.
Once everything is mixed well, you can cut into shapes. If I just want round sugar cookies, I just get a cup and use that as my cutter.
Make sure that you put flour on counter so that your dough doesn't stick to it.
This dough freezes very well. It makes a ton of cookies so I usually use half of the dough at a time.
Heat your oven at 400 degrees and cook for 7-10 minutes.

HOMEMADE ICING:


3 c. Powder Sugar
1/4 c. Milk
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Dash of salt

Combine all ingredients together and mix well until all lumps are gone. For fun, you can add food coloring. We did these cookies at Christmas once for the kids to decorate.
