Ingredients
Cookies
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
Cookies
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Add sour cream and vanilla, and mix well.
- Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Chill dough at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Roll dough out on a heavily floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter or use a drinking glass.
- Place cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 12 minutes, or until cookies springs back when lightly touched. Cool.
Icing
- Mix well - powdered sugar, crisco, salt, and milk.
- Add melted butter and vanilla. Blend thoroughly, and spread on cookies. Decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar if desired.
Notes
*I will warn you that these cookies are VERY moist and the dough takes a little bit more finesse to roll out and handle than traditional sugar cookie dough, but it's worth it!
