Soft Sugar Cookies

This recipe is from Leora Sanford of Waco, TX, who says, "I got this recipe from a really good friend of mine whose mother was a professional baker. My family has always loved to make sugar cookies to decorate for the holidays but I have never liked any of the recipes we used because the cookies always turned out too crunchy. I think cookies should be soft and chewy and moist. I love this recipe because the sour cream is added to give the cookies their soft texture, but you can't taste the sour cream. They taste like heavenly perfect sugar cookies!"
 
Ingredients:
Recommend this recipe to a friend

1 cup sour cream
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

 

 
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine sour cream, sugar, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.

Slowly add the dry ingredients until everything is completely mixed together. Let the dough chill for about 15 minutes.

Form dough into small balls, or use fun cookie cutters.

Bake until LIGHT golden brown - no more than 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they may seem underdone, but they aren't. Just let them cool on the pan and you will find that they are perfectly soft and moist. If you prefer sugar cookies that are a little harder and more crumbly, bake them longer.
