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.
