Frosted Sugar Cookies



I can't even tell you how many times I am asked for this recipe. We can't even buy them from the bakery anymore because these are so good. Enjoy!


SUGAR COOKIES:

1 c. butter creamed

2 c. sugar

Cream together.


3 eggs

Add and beat well.


1 c. sour cream

2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. lemon extract or Mexican vanilla

Then add and scrap sides of bowl occasionally.


5 1/2 - 6 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

3 tsp. baking powder

Sift together and add to the mixture.


Chill in fridge for 60 min. or freezer for 30 min.

Then it's ready to roll out and cut. I like them very thick.


Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. I do closer to 8.




Easy Buttercream Frosting

1 cup (2 sticks) butter (room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1b. 10X powdered sugar
1-3 teaspoons milk, half and half or cream

  • Using a mixer, cream softened butter and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add sugar gradually, allowing butter and sugar to cream together before adding more.
  • If you want your frosting a little creamier, add a teaspoon of milk at a time and beat on high until you get the right texture.
