    An old cookbook

    Recipe Introduction


    This has probably been our favorite for over 25 years. Add nuts, chips, raisins, dates or whatever for variation.

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 c. butter
    1 1/2 c. sugar
    2 eggs
    1 tsp. vanilla
    3 c. sifted flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1 c. dairy sour cream
    cinnamon sugar mixture

    Optional: nuts, dates, raisins, craisins, chips of any flavor including chocolate and white.

    Recipe



    1-Cream butter to consistency of mayonnaise
    2-Add sugar gradually, while continuing to cream.
    3-Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
    4-Add vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
    5-Mix and sift dry ingredients together.
    6-Alternately add flour and sour cream to this mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.

    (For 3 inch cookies, drop by heaping teaspoons onto a well greased cookie sheet leaving room to spread. With spatula, flatten into circles about 2 inches in diameter.)

    (For big 5 inch cookies, use 1/4 cup of batter for each cookie and flatten to 5 inches. Sprinkle each with cinnamon sugar mix.)

    7-Bake in hot oven, 400° for around 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.

    Note: For Chocolate Sugar Cookies: Add 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate (not cocoa powder) to the creamed mixture and proceed as above.

    Yield: Makes about 30 cookies 3 inches in diameter or 18 cookies 5 inches in diameter.
