Holiday Sugar cOOkies for Generations

This has been a family favorite for generations. We especially enjoy them at Halloween and Valentine's Day.


Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp cream (heavy or sour)
1 tsp vanilla 
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream the butter, sugar and egg. Add cream and vanilla. Beat in the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out on a floured surface until about 1/4-1/2 inch (I like mine thick). cut into shapes. Bake at 400 F for 7-8 min. Frost when cooled completely.

The kids had a great time frosting them...and dumping frosting on them...YUM!
