I absolutely LOVE this sugar cookie recipe. These soft, yummy cookies taste very much like those Loft House cookies, but they are little more dense and a little less sweet...and that makes them simply PERFECT!!
Even my hubby, yes the one who dislikes sweets, LOVES THESE!!! I leave him a few unfrosted, but he'll eat them both ways.
SOFT SUGAR COOKIES
Ingredients:
* 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sift before measuring
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
* 1/2 cup sour cream
Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside. In a mixing bowl (I use my Kitchenaid) cream butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla--Beat for 2 minutes. Add sour cream and half of the sifted dry ingredients; beat 1 minute. Stir in remaining dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half and roll each portion out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thick. (Make sure they are thick)!!! Cut with floured cookie cutter. Place cookies on greased cookie sheets; bake at 400° for about 8 minutes. DO NOT OVER-BAKE!!!! (They should be a tiny bit golden on the bottom).
FROSTING
*3 c. powdered sugar
*1/3 c. butter
*1 1/2 tsp vanilla
*1-2 Tbs Milk
Cream butter and vanilla till whipped. Add powdered sugar and a tiny bit of milk and mix until it is the consistency desired. Add food coloring & frost!!!
****Store sugar cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft.
