Hey Keller Family! I created this blog for all of us to add all of our yummy recipes, and have a central location for them. I know I am always calling back and forth to get a recipe because I lose the paper I've written it on. So here's my solution! A printed recipe book would be outdated quickly as many of us love to find new recipes to try. Be sure to label what your recipe is (main dish, dessert, side, etc) so it will be easier for others to find. So start adding recipes!

Sugar Cookies (like Granny B's)

*Note that this dough has to chill for 2-3 hours, so that's not super convenient!

Cookies:

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 t vanilla
3 cups flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 t baking powder
1/2 cup sour cream

Cream butter and sugar together, then slowly add eggs and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together, then add dry mixture to the wet mixture, along with the sour cream - mix until smooth. Chill dough 2-3 hours. Roll out on floured board (use LOTS of flour because the dough will be very sticky) to desired thickness and cut into shapes.

Bake at 375 for 6-8 mins.

Frosting:

4 T butter
2 1/3 cup powdered sugar
milk
3/4 t vanilla
(For chocolate frosting add 3 T cocoa)

Put butter in bowl and beat with electric mixer until fluffy. Then add about 1/2 the powdered sugar. Beat in 1 tablespoon milk and the vanilla. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar. Add more milk as needed.

Greg and I are obsessed with these cookies... they are exactly like those giant-pink-frosted-really-really-bad-for-you Granny B's cookies. Enjoy!
