Answer 4

This Pennsylvania Dutch soft sugar cookie recipe yields the greatest and most flavorful treat. I like to insert a plumb raisin in the center of each cookie, and sprinkle granulated sugar on top. The local folks call them sugar cakes.
Every time I bake them, my kitchen is filled with the most wonderful aroma of sour cream blended with butter, accentuated by vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Unsalted butter, softened 1 cup or 2 sticks
Sugar 1 ½ cup
Lemon zest, finely grated 1 ½ tsps
Eggs 2 large
Vanilla extract 2 ½ tsps
Sour cream 1 cup
All purpose flour 3 cups
Baking soda ½ tsp
Cream of tartar ½ tsp
Salt ½ tsp

For topping, use 4 tablespoons of sugar and raisins.

Cream butter, sugar, lemon zest until light in color and fluffy.

Beat in eggs and vanilla until very smooth.

Add sour cream, and gently fold in flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda until evenly incorporated.

Dough will be sticky. For easy handling, chill it for at least 3 hours or until firm.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F., and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Roll dough into 1½ inch balls, place on prepared cookie sheets, spacing about 3-inches apart.

Press each ball with bottom of a drinking glass covered in saran wrap and dipped in granulated sugar. Make them about 3 inches in diameter. Insert a raisin into the center of each cookie.

Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until edges are lightly brown and the center is barely firm to touch.

Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

This Pennsylvania Dutch soft sugar cookie recipe yields about 24 cookies. Store them in air tight containers for 1 week or freeze for up to 1 mo
