Gretchen's Sugar Cookies

These are my family's favorite cookies that I bake on holidays. That's
so my
boyfriend's daughter can cut them out and help decorate them. My mom
always
made them for us when we were growing up as kids and she still does.

Ingredients:

1 c. butter
2 c. sugar
5 eggs (beaten)
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. soda
5 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Cream sugar and butter together. Mix soda into sour cream and add
alternately with eggs to creamed mixture. Add vanilla, mix well. Beat
in
flour. Chill several hours or overnight. Roll out on floured surface,
and
cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or until
lightly
browned. Frost and decorate after cooled.
