Recipe Needed: Sugar Cookies
Hey girlies- I'm wanting to make sugar cookies with my little princess so she can give them to her friends for Valentines Day. Here's the thing- I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies unless they are the yummy cakey ones. Well, I've never before made sugar cookies so I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing! Do any of you have recipes for the yummy cakey ones?? If so, please share!!

I really like this recipe. It makes the cookies really soft and delicious. You just have to make sure that they're not too thin when you roll them out. I like them a lot. I've made them with whole wheat flour too and they still tasted super delicious. :)
Super Soft Sugar Cookies
1 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 tsp. baking flour
4 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and beat well. Add sour cream and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Roll on floured surface or plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter. Place on buttered cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and sprinkle with sugar, or frost when cooled. Bake at 350 for 14-17 minutes or until very lightly browned, not much. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.
look for the S&S first recipe book. i think it was davistales who had a good one for the cakey sugar cookies that have sour cream or something in them.
Ooh!! Thanks girls! I'm excited to make them. And my hubby is even more excited. Apparently sugar cookies are his favourite and he's been missing them our whole marriage... :D
These are our favorite Sugar Cookies! They are soft and moist and a little fudgy. I've had many requests for this recipe. I hope you enjoy it. I will be posting to my recipe blog this week. http://janellescookbook.blogspot.com/

Chill for several hours or overnight. Roll into balls and flatten with bottom of sugar coated glass.
