By now you guys have figured out I am a simple baker with simple recipes. This cookie recipe came from an old Electric Company Cookbook many years ago. It's a soft sugar cookie but with the frosting, it gives it such a good taste that one is never enough. Read more . I love them decorated with the little red cinnamon candies. Ingredients:
cookie dough |
3 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup softened butter, alternate |
1 1/2 cups sugar |

1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
3 tablespoons sour cream, alternate |
frosting |

1/4 cup softened butter |
4 cups powdered sugar |
2 egg whites |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |

2. Dissolve baking soda in the sour cream.
3. Mix the ingredients together, alternating a dry one and then a moist one.
4. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. Roll out, cut out and bake at 400 degrees until done.
6. Small cutouts 6-7 minutes (I use shot glass for small),
7. trees 7-8 minutes.
8. I use airbake cookie sheets, no parchment paper.
