Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

Aaron's grandma's classic recipe. Brings back so many good memories for all of the grandkids.

1 c sugar
1 c butter
2 eggs
1/2 c sour cream*
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 c flour

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir thoroughly. Add soda and baking powder and mix well. Add flour about 2/3 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Add more flour if dough is still sticky. Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut out cookies. If dough is hard to work with, put in in the refrigerator for a while. Place cookies on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 °F for 10-12 minutes until puffed, set, and just starting to brown around the edges.

Makes 2-3 dozen.

*Or substitute 1/2 c whipping cream for the sour cream and add about 1 additional cup flour

** If you want colored cookies, add food coloring to the batter after mixing the liquid ingredients.
