Sugar Cookies...


1 C. Butter
1 C. Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
3 C. Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 C. Sour Cream (or Plain Yogurt)
1/2 tsp. Lemon Extract


Cream butter and sugar together, add eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to mixture. Mix well. (I refrigerated it for approx. an hour at this point...) Roll dough out on a floured surface approximately 1/4" thick. Bake at 350 for 10-11 min. Frost, decorate and enjoy!
(Thanks to my friend Monica H. for this great recipe. She described them as being similar to Granny B's in taste and texture. I would agree that is a good description! This recipe helped me get over my years of bad luck with sugar cookies. We will definitely make them again.) I frosted them with a butter cream frosting.
