LOFTHOUSE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. COOKIE DOUGH DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl combine sour cream, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla; mix well. In a smaller bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, then add to wet mixture and mix until everything is just incorporated. With a cookie scoop, scoop out even size scoops of dough and then roll in a ball in your hand and place on a cookie sheet and slightly flatten with your hand so it's in a circular shape. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until light golden brown, no more than 10 minutes. They may seem under done but they aren't. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
• 2. BUTTERCREAM FROSTING DIRECTIONS: Directions: Cream together butter and shortening in mixer, with paddle attachment on medium for about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and beat until smooth, Add another 1/2 cup and beat until smooth. Add Vanilla, mix. Add gradually the remaining sugar and milk, making sure you end with sugar. Continue to mix on medium until smooth.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar.
• Take the mixer out and, with a wooden spoon, add the egg, whipping cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined (it will look a bit "stiff"), but do not whip the cream too much.
• In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
• Add half the dry mixture at a time to the wet mixture. Only mix until it is thoroughly mixed together. Dough will seem sticky.
• Roll dough into 1" to 1-1/4" balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
• Flatten to 1/3" thick with the flat bottom of a drinking glass. They do not spread much when baking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
• Take the cookies out of the oven and move immediately to a wire rack to cool. Frost and decorate as desired.
