1 C. sour cream
1 T. vanilla extract

Cream butter with mixer at high speed for 2 minutes until creamy. Scrape sides of bowl. Continue beating. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping bowl between additions. Add sour cream and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
At lower speed, add remaining ingredients. Mix only until incorporated. Put cookie dough onto a sheet pan and refrigerate until dough is firm (at least an hour; the colder the better).
When ready to roll, preheat oven to 350¡F. and flour work surface well. Take a piece of dough and form it into a ball, removing any cracks or seams. Roll out evenly. Use flour liberally, but brush off excess before baking. Cut into desired shapes.Ê Bake 10-12 minutes at 350¡F. until edges are light brown. Center will be soft to the touch, but dough will spring back without leaving an imprint.
Makes about 30 cookies.
