This recipe is my mother-in-law's and it makes super soft, yummy sugar cookies. The trick is roll them thick and take them out of the oven before they start to brown. They don't look done at all, but let them cool on the pan and VIOLA! BTW-- this recipe makes a truckload of cookies. I half it all the time and it makes around 30 fat, delicious cookies.
1 C butter or margarine (butter powder from storage works great and cuts the fat in half, if you're interested)
4-6 C flour
2 C sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 C sour cream
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Mix in sour cream, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add flour one cup at a time until a soft dough is formed. I usually leave it just a little sticky so I can use more flour to roll them out without drying the cookies out. Roll thick, cut into shapes, and bake 8-10 minutes. (If you have one of those light silver insulated pans, 9 minutes is perfect.;)
