Sugar Cookies

This is the best recipe ever if you like a soft sugar cookie! As you can see it is also a lot of fun if you have kids. Savannah begged and begged like she always does to make these.

Cream 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar and add 2 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
Whisk in a large bowl 3 cups of presifted flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
add 1/2 cup sour cream alternately with the dry mixture in thirds with the butter/sugar mixture.

Chill 2-3 hours.

Roll out and cut into shapes, bake at 375 degrees for 6 - 8 minutes.

Frosting:

Put 4 tablespoons SOFT unsalted butter in bowl and beat with electric mixer until fluffly. Add 1 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, beat in 1 table spoon milk and 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla. Add in another cup of powdered sugar and add more milk if needed. Add food coloring if desired. This makes enough to rost half of a cake mix so you may want to double the recipe depending on if you have more cookies.
