This dough is easy to work with - it has no baking powder - so the cookies bake smooth and flat - without any small bumps. It makes decorating easier. This is a recipe from my late mother. Every year she made dozens of cookies at Christmas time to share with family and friends. I’ve carried on her tradition.

Old Fashioned Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe

March 18th, 2009 at 05:36pm Under Sugar Cookies

These Sugar Cookies are a soft cookie. They have been in the family for many years, and a favorite for my son over seas.

Rate this recipe and see reviews here!

Ingredients

1/2 C. butter
1 C. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C. sour cream
3 1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions

Cream butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and sour cream. Mix all the other ingredients together. Roll onto lightly floured surface. I like to keep them a little thick. You will need to play with the dough to make them the way you like them. If you make them too thin, they will turn out hard. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
