Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sour cream

For the Frosting

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2-4 teaspoons heavy cream or milk, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Instructions

To make the cookies, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet alternating with the sour cream and stir until combined.

Chill the dough for at least 6 hours, overnight is better.

Preheat oven to 325 F. Roll out the dough to about 1/3 inch on a well floured surface a small batch at a time. This is by nature a sticky dough, so you will need to keep everything well floured. Also keep any dough that you are not working with in the fridge.

Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes. Do not over bake them. They should still be pale when the come out of the oven. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for a minute, before removing them to a wire rack to cool.

The cookies freeze well unfrosted, or you may frost them as soon as they are cool.

To make the frosting, beat the the butter for 2 or 3 minutes until fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla and enough of the milk or cream to make a spreadable consistency. Tint the frosting whatever color is desired. Frost the cookies and be sure to use sprinkles!
