BETTY'S SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES
These are a favorite cookie from my childhood that my Mom Betty made alot less frequently. She was a fabulous cook and baker. I did not appreciate all the work rolled out cookies took vs drop or other easier methods till I was grown. My daughter loves these and like my Mom I don't make them every year. While I've found easier recipes that imitate some other time consuming ones, I've never tasted any cookie that comes close to these. I usually made them as trees and sprinkled with green sugar. I occasionally made them for Valentines Day in heart shape with red sprinkles.

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!

Tips:
- Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help ensure that your cookies are light and fluffy.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cookies will be too dense. If the dough is too thin, the cookies will be too crispy.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Sour cream sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be sure to please everyone.
