Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

1 1/2 C sugar

1/2 C butter

2 eggs

1 C sour cream

2 tsp vanilla

5 C flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Cream sugar and butter.  Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla, beat well.  Mix in dry ingredients.

Chill 2 hours (this is important, otherwise they will be too soft to work)

Roll 1/4 inch thick, use plenty of flour.

Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes.  They are done if you touch one and it doesn’t leave an impression.  They will still be white.

Let cool for just a minute then remove to cooling rack.

From a relief society cookbook published by the South Ogden 39th ward in the 80's.  The cookbook is long gone, but this recipe is still a family favorite.

The sister missionaries asked for a healthy dinner and this is what I came up with.  I wasn't sure about the mix of flavors, but it was really good.  I made a bunch of substitutions and it still turned out great.
