World's Best Sugar Cookies:
1 c. butter
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sour cream (fat free works fine)
1 pinch salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baing powder
5-7 c. flour
Cream first four ingredients, then add the sour cream and salt. Add the dries to the top, and stir them together with a spoon, then blend them into the rest of the mixture. Mix well. Add enough flour so the dough is still a bit sticky.
Chill for 20 minutes and it will be easier to handle. Roll out so they are at least 1/4" thick. Cut into shapes and bake at 365 for 8-10 minutes. Watch them and remove from oven just before they brown. Keep them light so they'll be soft! If you make them plenty thick, you can even insert a lollipop stick and transform them into cookie pops, which look great arranged into a mug with some styrofoam in the bottom. ENJOY!
Frost with Cream Cheese frosting:
8 oz. fat free cream cheese
4 - 8 oz. butter (either way works)
Powdered sugar until thick and creamy
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
I halved the recipe and it made approx. 3 dozen.
