I love this cookbook

I got this cookbook for Christmas, and I recommend it to everyone. I have tried several different recipes and have loved them all. I actually saw them at a cooking show at Thanksgiving Point and wanted the cookbook then but ended up forgetting about it. So glad my Aunt bought this for me.

Our Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe

 
This is our go to sugar cookie recipe that I thought I would share. These cookies are soft and so so yummy!

6 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter softened
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream

Sift flour, soda and salt together. In a large bowl mix remaining ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Add to the flour mixture and mix until well combined. Roll out on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes

Frosting:

1/3 cup butter, softened
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
food coloring.

Mix all ingredients together and beat well.
