You know the big pre-packaged Grandma's sugar cookies w/ the pink icing & sprinkles? I am looking for one like that or similar to Wal-mart's soft sugar cookies they sell in the bakery. We LOVE them and I would love to find that icing as well. I just downed 4 of the minis. Shame on me! Anyone else here getting thick around the midsection? LOL Must be all the taste testing for these new recipes! |

I love those cookies, but do you notice an aftertaste or feeling that you have a coating on the inside of your mouth after eating them? |

Excited to try the lofthouse recipes - Thanks!
Here is my Sour cream sugar cookie recipe. Its not on file yet. For some reason, the site won't upload it. I will try it again later.
SOur Cream Sugar Cookies
1 c shortening
2 c sugar
2 eggs
1 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
4 1/2 c flour
Chill dough for 2 hours. Roll & cut. Don't try detailed cutters. You lose the details on these, they are so fluffy.
Bake @ 350 degrees for approx. 10 minutes. |
