Lofthouse Sugar Cookies

AKA The Best Cookies You Will Ever Make

For the cookies:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 5 1/2 cups flour

Cream sugar and butter. Mix in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the dry ingredients. Let refrigerate overnight.

After refrigerated, roll out dough to 1/4-3/8 inch thickness on a heavily floured surface. Put the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet and cook for eight minutes at 435˚. This makes five dozen cookies if you use the canning ring for a narrow-mouth jar to cut the dough.

For the frosting:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 5 Tbs milk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Cream together the butter and sugar. After that's thoroughly mixed, gradually add the milk and vanilla. Add food coloring as desired.

Frost the cookies and enjoy!
