Sugar Cookies

The Petersen family started making these cookies in the 1970's when we lived in Riverdale.  We found the recipe in our issue of  The Children's Friend.  Makes yummy, soft, thick cookies.

                       SUGAR COOKIES


1 cup butter, softened                                      1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar                                                    4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs                                                             4 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sour cream                                           1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Cream together butter and sugar.  Add eggs and beat well.  Add sour cream and vanilla.  Sift together dry ingredients in separate bowl.then add to creamed mixture. Add a little more flour if dough is too sticky.  Roll dough out on floured surface.  Cut into desired shapes.  Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake 350 for 12-15 minutes.
