Re: A Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe...
I will get the responses started by saying I am VERY interested in taste testing these! I am an expert in rating cookie softness.

Good Sugar Cookies
3/4 bup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 t. vanilla
3 cups flour
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. soda
1/2 T. baking powder
Cream butter, add sugar gradually, add eggs one at a time. Mix well. Add flavoring to sour cream. Sift together flour and dry ingredients. Add cream.
Can be dropped by spoon or rolled out and cut.
Chill. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes - frost!
If you store them with a slice of bread it will get very hard and keep the cookies soft.

Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture.
Drop by Tablespoons 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 min or until golden brown.
Icing:
3 c. sifted confectioner's sugar
