AWESOME SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES WITH HOMEMADE ICING
This recipe was passed down through the generations from my Great Grandmother. It has been a tradition in our family to make them every Christmas and it becomes an all-day event where we make cookies all morning and decorate them all afternoon. The recipe is pretty simple and the most time-consuming part of the process is decorating, especially when you're in my family and it becomes an artistic competition!

Steps:
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in bowl and set aside.
- Cream butter sugar, egg and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes.
- Add sour cream and beat well.
- Add dry ingredient mix (flour, baking soda, and salt) and blend well.
- Roll on floured board to desired thickness. (1/4 inch thick will create thick cookies that will stay moist for up to two weeks).
- Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters.
- Bake on greased cookie sheet at 325°F for 12 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
- Pour bag of confectioner sugar into bowl.
- Whisk the 1 stick butter (melted), 1 tbsp almond extract, and 1/2 can evaporated milk in separate bowl until well mixed.
- Slowly blend into the powered sugar a bit at a time until the icing is a good consistency for decorating. Will not take the entire mixture.
- Pour icing into smaller bowls and use food coloring to make icing into different colors.
- Decorate with icing as desired.
- Use remaining butter, almond, evap.milk mixture to freshen up the icing as it hardens over time. Re-heat the mixture in the microwave before adding to the icing. Add to the icing a few drops at a time until the icing becomes spreadable again. You may have to add more food coloring to freshen up the color.
- Use sprinkles, candy, and a lot of imagination to decorate cookies.
- Lay decorated cookies on wax paper to dry, it will take icing about 2 hours to firm onto cookie but once dry you can store them in an airtight container.
