Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

This is a great soft sugar cookie.  I picked this gem up from the "wheat Montana" flour package.  I use their white flour and absolutely love how my baked goods come out.  The story behind the company is pretty cool too.  I will let you read and discover this wonderful flour :)
                Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies
1c. Butter                         
1/4 tsp. baking soda
4 tsp. baking powder
1 3/4c. Sugar.                    
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla.                    
3 eggs.                               
5 to 5 1/2 c. White flour

Preheat oven to 350F.
Cream butter and sugar, add vanilla.  Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy.  Mix baking soda and sour cream together and add to creamed mixture.  Sift together baking powder and flour and blend into creamed mixture.    Dough should be easy to handle and roll out ( I usually refrigerate it for a couple of hours).  On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about 1/8" thick .  Cut into shapes.  Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for about 9 min.  Makes about 4 doz.

                                 1/2 c. Butter ( 1 stick),  3 to 4 Tbsp. milk ( I usually use whipping cream or evaporated milk for a richer frosting) , 2 tsp. vanilla, food coloring, if desired,  2 - 3c. Powder sugar ( I'm guessing, because I just put enough in for frosting consistency) frost cookies.      
                                       Decorate to your hearts content :)
