Emily Schlerf's Sugar Cookies

This is the ultimate, best recipe for sugar cookies, given to me by my sweet neighbor at Ricks College. Dorm 2 anyone? Try them, and let me know if you agree...or if you know her! It's the only one we use, it wins all taste tests hands down.

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sour cream
6 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Mix sugar, butter eggs. Alternate adding sour cream with dry ingredients to the sugar mixture. Blend really well. Chill in refrigerator for about an hour. Roll out 1/4 inch thick, cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Don't overbake! Let cool on cookie sheet or wire rack. Frost with cream cheese frosting. (Mine is on the cinnamon roll recipe).

Is it a soft sugar cookie?

Yes, very soft. (Unless you overbake it!) The thicker you roll them out, the softer they are.
