Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
This recipe was given to me many years ago by a former neighbor who was also from my home state -- Maine!
I have been using it over the years ever since and it has become a regular on my holiday dessert table.
Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups butter
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups sour cream
- 4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Cream together the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla until well mixed.
Blend in the sour cream.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Mix together, alternating dry and creamed ingredients until thoroughly blended.
Cover dough and chill for about a half hour; then roll it out on a board, using more flour for desired consistency. Cut with cookie cutters and sprinkle with colored sugars, if desired.
Bake at 350F degrees for approximately 10 minutes; or until done.
Store cookies in an airtight container.
