Recipe

I'm back! Christmas vacation seemed to come and go in a whirlwind and will take me a while to get caught up in the blog world. Fun family photos should come soon.

Until then, here s the recipe for the yummy soft sugar cookies girls:

SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour (will be very sticky so you can add plenty while rolling out w/o making em dry)
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt

Blend first 3 ingredients, then add eggs,vanilla, and sour cream. Pour in all your dry ingredients and then sample as someone should ALWAYS make sure it is tasting good. Dirty job but I recommend mom's taking on this daunting task.

From there flour your counter, roll out a ball (not too thin--I like em thick). Flour the cutters, eat the scraps and then repeat until all the dough is gone. With all the sampling that is required I double the batch. If you are going to make the mess you might as well do it up good.

Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes to start with. These are done BEFORE they are brown. They should feel pretty firm but still pale. I always say erring on the side of a little doughy is best. Try em and let me know what you think. I will pass the word on to my mom who is the originator of the recipe. Good luck!
