My daughter has amazing preschool teachers.  I’m not quite sure how to thank them for all the work they’ve done, but I’m gonna try.  First, with a gift certificate to a local restaurant and second, with my family recipe for Christmas cookies.  Basically I’m going to make sure they have a bunch of food this holiday.  Food is good, am I right?

Kellie’s Mom’s Sour Cream Cookies

3 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 ½ tsp vanilla
½ cup sour cream

-  Combine flour, soda and salt in a bowl.  Set aside.

-  In the bowl of a mixer mix the butter, sugar, and egg on a medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth.

-  On low speed add sour cream and vanilla to butter mixture.

-  Add half of the flour mixture and mix for about 1 minute.  Turn off mixer and add the rest of the flour stirring with a wooden spoon.

-  Roll dough out to ¼ inch thick.  Use cute Christmas cookie cutters!

-  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes (do not allow the cookies to brown).
