I’m going to let you in on a little tip…..ok, more like a secret. My grandma’s recipe book was given to me before she passed away (I begged her for it, and since I’m the only one in the family who cooks and bakes she ablidged) and I found the most amazing, tasty, fabulous recipe for cut out cookies. They are really easy and bake up incredibly fluffy.
Here’s the recipe:
Mix the dry ingredients together first:
1 3/4 C sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 baking soda
pinch of salt
5 1/4- 5 1/2 C flour
In a large bowl mix your wet ingredients:
1 C butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 C sour cream
Add your dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. Sprinkle POWDER SUGAR (yup, you read that right…not flour) on the surface and roll out your dough. Bake the cookies at 350 for around 8 minutes (give or take a couple based upon your individual oven). Enjoy!
I love how colorful these are!
