Yum-O Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

This is a picture of some of the cute Valentine cookies my Mia Maids decorated for our mutual activity. They had some very creative ideas using all the candy and icing, we also dipped strawberries in chocolate and made Valentine Hearts to heart attack someone special. These girls are the BEST, I didn't get a picture of them, but I'm posting the recipe for the cookies in case anyone needs a good cookie to make for neighbors, party or for your Valentine treat. What makes this recipe is the sour cream, it makes the cookie very moist. Enjoy!

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter softened

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

4 tsp. baking powder

6 cups flour

Cream butter, sugar, and eggs, then add sour cream and vanilla. Blend in soda, salt, baking powder and flour. Roll out on floured surface and cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes (I only did mine for 11-12).

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 box powdered sugar

8 oz. cream cheese softened

1 tsp vanilla

little bit of milk (I use the evaporated milk thats in a can)

food coloring if desired

Mix until spreading consistency.

Another thing you could do is eliminate the cream cheese and use 2 squares of butter and add 1 tsp. of almond extract I love this taste on my sugar cookies.
