Sour Cream Cookies (Great Great Great Grandma's)
2 c sugar
1 c butter
2 eggs
8 oz sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
4 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Cream sugar and butter very well. Add eggs, sour cream, vanilla. Mix together dry ingredients. Fold creamed mixture into dry ingredients. Chill overnight. Roll very thick using lots of flour. Cut with favorite cookie cutters. Bake at 400 for 8-12 minute and watch closely. They should not be browned on top - at most the tiniest bit on the edges. Best when slightly underdone. :)
To ice, make an icing from powdered sugar and milk. Add food coloring according to season and shape of cookies.
