Grandma's Sugar Cookies and Frosting

Steps Making Recipes Grandma's Sugar Cookies and Frosting using 16 ingredients and 8 steps

Grandma's Sugar Cookies and Frosting - These really are Grandma's Best Sugar Cookies! They're perfectly soft, a little bit chewy, with the right amount of tang from the sour cream. Be prepared for a storm of powdered sugar to fly everywhere, unless you're really patient and only do like a tablespoon at a time. When all the powdered sugar is combined, the frosting will be really thick and almost crumbly. This Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe is a copycat recipe of the grandma's big, frosted cookies sold in grocery stores.

Note: This will give you enough to frost a batch of cookies, but I always double the recipe so I have LOTS of frosting to play with.

Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets for about a minute, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

These Sour Cream Cookies are not the difficult, finnicky cookies that require hours of rolling, cutting, baking, and decorating. They are a soft sugar cookie made with sour cream, and they have a fluffy, delicate texture that I find much more appealing. Iced sugar cookies are back on the list to make this Christmas. The tradition of decorating cookies around the table for hours is still going strong in my family thanks to this keto sugar cookies recipe! Thank you and good luck
