THE SOFTEST SUGAR COOKIES & BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• In a mixer, cream butter and sugar and then add eggs and vanilla. Add sour cream.
• In a separate bowl, combine salt, baking soda and flour. Add to butter mixture, creaming until combined. NOTE: If dough seems too sticky to roll out, place in refrigerator for 20 minutes or so and then continue with the next step.
• Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/4 to 1/3 inches thickness. {Yes, seriously. If you make it any thinner, they will be crispy and not as good! This is the trick to making them super soft!}
• Cut with cookie cutters and using a spatula, transfer cookies to baking sheet that has either been sprayed with cooking spray or has parchment paper on it.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-8 minutes {Yes, seriously. This is another important step! Do NOT overbake!} They won't look done, but just trust me on this, take them out of the oven.
• Wait about 5 minutes and carefully transfer cookies to a cooling rack. (This recipe makes several dozen cookies but is easy to half as well.)
• In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until crumbly.
• Gradually add milk until frosting reaches desired consistency. Add food coloring and stir until combined. Spread on cooled cookies and ENJOY!! They are SO good!
