i was blessed with not only a mom for a good cook, but also a mother-in-law who's a good cook. these are by far the best sugar cookies i have ever eaten. make sure to roll out thick so that they stay moist and puffy. my mother-in-law always uses a scalloped circle cookie cutter so that there are less protruding ends to brown and dry out. she makes these for many holidays and always makes a heaping plate full of them for a friend or neighbor.
cream together:
1½ cups sugar
1¼ cups butter
add:
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
mix thoroughly.
sift together:
¾ tsp soda
little less than ¼ tsp nutmeg
2 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
3½ cups flour
add dry ingredients to egg/sugar mixture and add alternately with 1 cup sour cream (total).
work with chilled dough. roll out thick (½”). bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. for the best cookies, remove before they brown around the edges.
top with your favorite buttercream frosting.
