Recipe Description

Next to Homemade Oreo Cookies I think sugar cookies are my next favorite cookie. They are the perfect cookie for holidays – you can cut and decorate them into shapes that represent that specific holiday. I also really like them because they taste so good. They are kind of the cookie of comfort food if that makes any sense? I hope you like this recipe ’cause it is by far my favorite sugar cookie recipe.

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs in one at a time. Then mix in the sour cream and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then slowly add the flour mixture into the cream mixture.

Roll cookies onto a floured surface. I like to roll the dough till it is about 1/4″ thick. Cut with your cookie cutters of choice. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.

For the frosting:
Beat the cream cheese, butter, and sugar till soft. Add in vanilla. Mix in, 1 Tablespoon at a time, the evaporated milk till desired consistency is reached. (Usually 2 Tablespoons is enough). Then mix in food coloring of choice.

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 4-½ cups Flour

Flourless Almond Butter Cocoa Cookies

by misschels and filed in Cookies, Desserts

These cookies are flourless, made with a nutty almond butter, slightly sweet from the combination of sugar and brown sugar, with a rustic feel from the gluten-free oats. Add dark chocolate cocoa powder for a cookie that is gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside!
