Sugar Cookies

Cream Together:
2 eggs
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Add:
6 cups of flour

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. With a cookie paddle attachment cream together eggs, butter, sugar, sour cream, baking soda, salt and vanilla until it is well mixed.
  3. Add flour one cup at a time until all 6 cups are added, and it is well mixed.
  4. Refrigerate dough for 30 mins – 2 hours.
  5. Dust a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone pad and dust with powdered sugar. Put ball of dough onto paper/pad and flatten with your hand. Dust top with more sugar and place a sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Cut dough into desire shapes and place evenly on parchment lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 6-9 minutes and check for doneness. 
  8. Place cookies on a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
  9. Store in a sealed container.
For icing I love to use the cream cheese frosting you can buy in a small tub from the store, royal icing, or you can put the Strawberry Buttercream Frosting on them.
