Sugar Cookies

This recipe is compliments of Coralee- thanks girl! Still the best I've ever tasted, and everyone that's tried them agrees :)

These were for my friends baby shower. Babies and binkies are from the dollar store!


Prep time: 10 minutes + cutting out
Chill time: 2 hours (not necessary, but helpful)
Bake time: 8-10 minutes

2 c. sugar
2/3 c. butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. sour cream

1. Cream first four ingredients together, then add sour cream.

Add to mixture:
5 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

2. Mix well. Chill about 2 hours. This is not necessary, but it helps the dough be less sticky.
3. Roll about 1/2 inch thick and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
4. Cool and decorate with Royal Icing.

**Hint: I usually only make half the recipe. It makes a lot. Or I make it all, make half into cookies and save the rest of the dough for cookies a week later :)
