Sour Cream Cut-Outs

This recipe stays soft because of the sour cream and cake flour in them. I make them every Christmas.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 6 ½ cups cake flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
