Sour Cream Cutout Cookies Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 42 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
FROSTING:
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and baking soda; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to roll.
Preheat oven to 350°. On a well-floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a bowl, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt and enough milk to reach desired consistency. Spread over cookies. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.

The cookies were dry and did not have much flavor. I also did not care for how much they raised.

I have been using this recipe for several years now to make holiday cookies for Halloween and Christmas and our friends LOVE them! My husband's coworkers start asking for them WEEKS before the holidays, and I love decorating them with my kids. Sometimes I even substitute a little of the vanilla extract with some almond extract for a unique flavor. I've had lots of people ask me for the recipe as well. I've tried other 'sugar cookie' recipes but we just keep coming back to this one. Thank you for sharing! :o)

I personally did not care for these cookies, the frosting was way too sweet and the cookie really didn't have much a flavor at all. I ended up throwing out several because no one was eating them.
