Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 8 mins Ready Time: 8 hrs 33 mins


• beat sugar and butter together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. add eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. beat sour cream and vanilla extract with the last egg.
• mix 5 cups flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a separate bowl; beat with the creamy mixture until just incorporated into a dough. cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• preheat oven to 425 degrees f (220 degrees c). line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• turn dough out a floured sheet of waxed paper on a flat work surface. sprinkle flour on top of dough and put another sheet of waxed paper atop the dough. roll dough out to 1/4- to 3/8-inch thick, using additional flour to keep dough from sticking and to get the best consistency for rolling. cut rolled dough with cookie cutters into desired shapes and arrange prepared baking sheets.
• bake in preheated oven until set along the edges, about 8 minutes. cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
