The BEST Sugar/Cutout Cookies!!

12/21/2011

'Tis the season for baking, and one of my favorite things to do is make cut-out cookies at Christmas time.  We made them every year growing up, and Christmas just isn't the same without them.  My 2 oldest are finally old enough to really participate, so we spend the morning making cookies! 

I have the BEST recipe for sugar cookies, and I'll share it below.  The secret ingredient that makes the cookies so good is sour cream, and you'll use this recipe forever after you've tried it once.  And don't forget cut out cookies are great fun for Valentine's Day or Easter too!

Soft Sugar Cookies
3 1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 C. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 C. sour cream

Put in large electric mixer bowl butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla.  Beat at a high speed for 2 minutes.  Stir in sour cream.  Then add flour and baking soda until well blended on low speed about 1 1/2 minutes.  Roll out lightly on floured breadboard to 1/4 inch thickness.  Cut with cookie cutter, put on greased cookie sheet and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 400 degrees about 6 minutes (adjust time as needed according to your oven).  Bake slightly less for softer cookies.  Makes 2 1/2 dozen.  These can be frosted.  If frosted, leave off sugar.

I use this recipe for frosting, adding a little more milk so it spreads easier.  You can divide the frosting and make several colors

**I prefer my cookies to be a little thicker, so you can adjust the dough thickness accordingly.  

**I usually double the recipe which allows for any cookies that might get broken, and there is plenty to share with friends!
