Sour Cream Cut-out Cookies

Hello Friends!

Hope you’re all having a wonderful week! Today, I would love to share with you the most loved cookie in our home. These cookies make an appearance at every birthday party. It’s the cookie that I send to school parties. Christmas cookie trays wouldn’t be complete without it.

It’s. Just. Plain. Delicious.

It may take a little time to whip these together, but they’re worth every effort. We’ve used countless cookie cutters to make these for every kind of holiday. The cookie by itself isn’t what makes it oh-so-yummy… it’s the icing on top that hits it out of the ballpark.
