Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sour cream
5 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
dash of salt

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well to blend after each addition. Add in the vanilla. Blend in the sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the dough and mix until just blended. This recipe makes a lot of dough, so don't over mix. Working in batches, roll the dough out onto a floured surface with a floured rolling pin, until evenly distributed. Also flour your cookie cutters before cutting into shapes. Cut dough into desired shapes. Bake at 325 degrees F for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Do not over cook, or else you'll get hockey pucks. Cool and frost with a butter cream frosting. Makes 48-50 cookies.
