Recipe Introduction
One of our Past Master's Grandsons loves this cookie, as do most of the people who eat it.
List of Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup Margarine. (Note: Margarine works best -- I like to use Land O Lakes, but you need to use a good brand)
with this cookie
2 Eggs
1 Cup Sour Cream (or Buttermilk although I
always use sour cream)
3 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Recipe
Cream sugar and margarine.
Add Eggs and beat well.
Add sour cream, the dry ingredients, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Drop by teaspoons full onto greased cookie sheet.
Sprinkle some sugar on top of each cookie and if you want to you can put 1/2 or 1/4 of a candied colored (green, red, or whatever) cherry on the top too.
Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove to wire cooling rack to cool.
These are a real good cake like Sugar Cookie with a nice Vanilla smell to them.
I like to use a small scoop instead of a teaspoon to drop them on the cookie sheet because the size is more consistent. Doing it this way should get you about 7 to 8 dozen cookies.
Please excuse me for preaching about what kind of Margarine to use, but I have a reason. I've learned that when you melt the less expensive margarine in a measuring cup in the Microwave there is more water in that melted margarine than in the more expensive brands. I found this out when I bought some of the lower priced stuff and it threw my recipe off. So now I just use Land O Lakes.
