    List of Ingredients


    • 1 c. brown sugar
    • 1 c. white sugar
    • 1 c. softened butter or butter flavor crisco
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 c. sour cream (the real stuff)
    • 2 t. vanilla
    • 1 t. salt
    • 2 t. baking powder
    • 5 1/2 c. flour


    Instructions


    1. Cream together sugars and butter. Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture. Chill dough at least one hour.
    2. Roll out thick--about 1/4". Cut out with cutters. Bake at 375 for 8- 10 minutes, just until set.
    3. Sometimes the cookies will not look done in the center after 10 minutes. Take them out anyway or they will be dry and crumbly. I have made them with biscuit cutters and they were all round. One year for VBS we had a Wizard of Oz theme and I made dozens of "Yellow Brick
      Road" cookies by cutting them in rectangeles with a pizza cutter, icing them with yellow icing and sprinkling with yellow sugar. This recipe made 52 shamrock cookies. It doubles easily. My tip for icing
      them is to make the icing rather thin then spread it on with your fingers. My neice and nephews love helping with that part!
