Sour Cream Cut-Outs
Description
This recipe stays soft because of the sour cream and cake flour in them. I make them every Christmas.
Ingredients
•
1 cup butter, softened
•
1 cup white sugar
•
2 eggs
•
1 cup sour cream
•
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
6 1/2 cups cake flour
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Stir in baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually mix in flour to form a dough that is stiff enough to roll out. More or less flour may be necessary.
3
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and the center appears dry. Cookies will stay white, so be careful not to overbake.
