Answer 1

Soft & Chewy Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine sour cream, sugar, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.

Slowly add the dry ingredients until everything is completely mixed together. Let the dough chill for about 15 minutes.

Form dough into small balls, or use fun cookie cutters.

Bake until LIGHT golden brown - no more than 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they may seem underdone, but they aren't. Just let them cool on the pan and you will find that they are perfectly soft and moist. If you prefer sugar cookies that are a little harder and more crumbly, bake them longer.

Answer 2

Soft, Chewy Sugar Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 tablespoons sour cream
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream shortening, butter, sugar; add eggs, lemon, vanilla and sour cream.
Mix till creamy; add sifted dry ingredients: salt, soda, and flour.
Chill for several hours or overnight. Roll into balls and flatten with bottom of sugar coated glass.
Bake at 350° just until the edges start turning color. Time will vary depending on how large and thick you made your cookies. It is important not to overbake if you want the texture to remain chewy and soft.
Decorate as desired.

Answer 3

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened but still firm
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Heat oven to 375°F.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
With mixer, beat butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar ad medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla; beat at medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
Add dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
Place 1/2 cup sugar in shallow bowl.
Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, roll in sugar and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. (If the dough seems too sticky to handle, ill a medium-sized bowl half way with cold tap water. Before you roll each ball of dough, dip your hands in cold water and dry--this will keep dough cool and help keep it from sticking to your hands.).
Butter bottom of glass and then dip in sugar.
Flatten dough balls with glass until about 3/4 inch thick.
Bake until cookies are golden brown around edges and very lightly colored, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool cookies on baking sheets about 3 minutes and then transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature.

ENJOY!!! : )
