Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 cups Flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. 

    Blend sugar with butter, add eggs, vanilla and sour cream.
    In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and baking soda.
    Add flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
    Freeze batter for 20 minutes.
    Flour a surface and gently roll out the cold dough, dusting with more flour as needed.
    Roll to about 1/2 inch thickness.
    Use cookie cutters to cut out dough and place on a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
    Bake for 8-10 minutes. You don't really want any color to the cookie, it will be super soft when you take it out but will be perfect when it cools.
