Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies ("Like Granny B's" large and soft)


  • 1 cup butter

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 4 1/2 cups flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt



  • In large bowl cream butter and sugar until creamy. Add one egg at a time and mix well. Add sour cream and vanilla. Add dry ingredients until well blended. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. (Do NOT bake too long)



  • Notes: I have found that it works best to put the dough in the fridge and let it chill before rolling out. You will want to roll out thicker than regular sugar cookies about 1/4 inch thick. I also like to double this recipe and freeze half the dough for another day.
