My friend, Merissa who blogs at Little House Living, sent over this Sugar Cookie recipe to share with you!
Ingredients:
- 1 c. butter
- 2 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 t. vanilla
- 5 c. flour
- 1 t. salt
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1 c. sour cream
Frosting
- 1/2 c. shortening
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 t. vanilla
- 4 c. powdered sugar
- 1/8 c strawberry juice
Melt the butter and mix in the sugar.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the sugar/butter mixture. Mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the mixture. Then add in the sour cream. Mix well until all the ingredients are blended.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Make cut outs with cookie cutters.
Bake at 400F, on a greased cookie sheet, for about 8 minutes or until they start to get slightly browned.
Mix together all the ingredients for the frosting. For the “strawberry juice” I just took frozen strawberries and thawed them in the microwave. Then I strained the juice out of them and mixed the juice into the frosting.
