The Best Sugar Cookies

I love sugar cookies!  I found this recipe at Christmas time and I think I will never make another sugar cookie again.  Enjoy.

1 cup butter

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

3 tsp vanilla

2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt
5 ½ cups flour

Cream butter and sugar.  Beat eggs one at a time.  Add sour cream and vanilla.  Combine dry ingredients separately then combine with wet ingredients.  Chill for 1 hour.  Roll out on floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.  Bake on greased and parchment lined cookie sheet at 375 for 7-8 minutes.  They should not be browned at all.  Overcooking will cause them to turn crispy.  Cool five minutes then transfer to a cooling rack until completely cool.  Frost with your favorite buttercream!
