I haven't made cut out cookies in ages (no room in the old place for rolling and cutting), and I've never made a sour cream cookie before, so I was intrigued by the recipe I found on Kellie Martin's blog. The cookies came out delicious and are definitely being added to the cookie collection. And yes, the frosting might look more peach than orange - my food colorings were the pastel ones. And no, I didn't have any other decorations to put on them... besides, I only wanted to spend so long on decorating - I wanted to try them!
3 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 ½ tsp vanilla
½ cup sour cream
- Combine flour, soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a mixer mix the butter, sugar, and egg on a medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth.
- On low speed add sour cream and vanilla to butter mixture.
- Add half of the flour mixture and mix for about 1 minute. Turn off mixer and add the rest of the flour stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Roll dough out to ¼ inch thick. Use cute Christmas cookie cutters!
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes (do not allow the cookies to brown).
