Jana's Frosted Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter (softened)

1 cup sugar

2 beaten eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup sour cream

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

Cream the butter and sugar together, then add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream and mix together. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients and then slowly add to the wet ingredients. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch and cut into shapes (Use a lot of flour to roll out, because the dough is really sticky). Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool completely and frost.

Frosting

4 oz. Cream Cheese softened

1/2 Cup (1 stick) Butter softened

1 tsp Vanilla

4-5 cups powdered sugar

A few drops of milk if it gets too thick

Food coloring (optional)

Cream together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time and beat until fluffy. Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice (if desired) and mix until the color is uniform. Frost cookies.
