There are two treats that scream Christmas-Time to me.....Sugar Cookies and Toffee!!!!!
Ya gotta love the way little kids decorate.....the more stuff crammed on the cookies, the better, right? LOL
This recipe for sugar cookies is my absolute favorite recipe! They turn out soft, sweet, and roll easily every time. The sour cream in the recipe makes these cookies taste BETTER than Lofthouse. :)
Sugar Cookies
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 T. vanilla
Beat the above five ingredients together until smooth. Then add:
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
3 1/4 c. flour (plus flour for counter)
Once dough is smooth, put in a bowl in the fridge (wrap the top of the dough ball in saran wrap so it doesn't dry out). Keep refrigerated until ready to roll out into cookies. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes (they are better underdone than overdone). Frost once they are cool with cream cheese or butter cream frosting colored green or red with food coloring....homemade, of course! :)
