sugar cookies



mmm. last night ryan and i made sugar cookies that turned out so great! they're so soft and delicious! here's the recipe if you wanna try them out:

1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
3 egg yolks
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

- Mix together all dry ingredients except the sugar, set aside. Cream together sugar and butter until the sugar dissolves and turns a light yellow color. Mix in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined, do not over mix or the cookies will not be as fluffy.
- Chill in the fridge for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll cookies in to balls or roll out with a rolling pin to make cut out cookies. Either make big balls or dough, or roll it out thick so they stay soft.
- Bake for 7 minutes and 350.

Frosting

1 cube softened butter
1/2 c. sour cream
1 bag powdered sugar
1 tbls. vanilla

- Whip together butter and sugar, then add the sour cream and sugar.
- If you like your frosting thicker use less sour cream, or just add more sugar
