Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla

4 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

In a large mixing bowl, mix butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Beat well until all blended. In a separate bowl, mix flour, soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Beat all together. Dough will be really sticky. Pour some flour on counter or table. Take a ball of dough and roll to 1/2 inch thick. (You need to use a lot of flour because the dough is very sticky) Cut out cookies. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Frost with cream cheese frosting or Just Like Lofthouse frosting.
