Sugar Cookies

I recently was given a sugar cookie recipe from another sister in my ward. We tried them and the cookies are really good and moist. They make a huge batch but are really tasty.

Sugar Cookies

1 cup margarine (softened - I use butter)
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
1 cup sour cream
6 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt

* Since being in Texas, I added an extra cup of flour. Also, I am chilling it for for a few minutes before rolling out the cookies...they worked out great.

Mix together. Bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes. Frost the cookies with either a cream cheese or a vanilla buttercream frosting.

**Mom told me to cut it in half, use 2 mediums eggs and put in 3 1/2 cups flour. I have not tried that option yet.
