Old Fashioned Sugar Cookie
I love this recipe because of its use of sour cream. I got this recipe from some packaging from something I bought over a decade ago. I don't know. It was a green cardboard box. I cut it out. Saved it. And lost it.

- 2 Cups Flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Combine flour, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in one bowl.
In a second bowl, cream butter and sugar. Blend in sour cream. If desired, add a tsp of vanilla or almond extract.
Add dry ingredients.
The dough will be very messy. That’s normal. Don’t freak out.
Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters.
Tip: Use parchment paper to roll on and on the cookie sheets to
bake on. Baking on the parchment paper makes the cookies stick
less once baked.
Bake at 350 Degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes.
