Soft Sour Cream Sugar cookies (Perfect for Valentine's Day)

I love making these sugar cookies. Everytime I have made them for family, friends and neighbors, I get lots of compliments on them. This is not the ordinary sugar cookie, the sour cream gives them a very soft, slightly sour taste that is just perfect when you add the sugar and the cream cheese frosting.

Soft Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. butter softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sour cream
5-6 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda in 1/8 c. milk
1/4 tsp. lemon juice
2 eggs

**If dough is too wet or sticky, add more flour until you get a soft, easy to work with dough that is pliable.

Preheat oven to 350. Combine sugar, butter, and vanilla together. Mix with electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and 1/8 c. milk with the 1 tsp. baking soda. Mix well.

In seperate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Add to the sugar mixture. Mix well and then add the sour cream and lemon juice and again mix until creamy. Drop by rounded balls in greased baking pan, or role out dough for cookie cutters. Bake for 10-12 min.

2 1/4 c. powdered sugar
1/4. c. milk

Mix cream cheese, sugar, and milk together withe electric mixer. Mix until thick and creamy. Add any food coloring of your choice.
