Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

I have several different sugar cookie recipes that I just love! And I use them all depending on my mood. These ones are very moist and yummy- I have to say that the sour cream makes them so soft that they are more like a "sour cream cookie" than a sugar cookie. But whatever they are, they are worth eating!

I am a big fan of cream cheese frosting, so Ill include the recipe for this yummy thick frosting as well.

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

1 c butter, softened

2 c sugar

1 c sour cream

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

5 c flour

1/2 t salt

1/2 t baking soda

4t baking powder

Directions: Beat the softened butter and the sugar. Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients separately and then combine the dry ingredients into the wet. You may need to add more flour to get the consistency you want.

Mix and refridgerate dough for one hour. Roll out on floured surface and cut into desired shapes. Bake at 375 for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness. These baked cookies will not brown, so dont wait for them to brown before pulling them out. They will also have bubbles throughout.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

2 bricks cream cheese

2 1/2 cubes butter

1 bag powdered sugar

1t vanilla

add 1T milk as needed
