How To Make Lofthouse Cookies

This recipe makes about two dozen cookies. 

• Combine 3 C flour, baking soda, baking powder.
• Mix butter and sugar in a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream and mix on low until combined.
• Add in dry ingredients and beat until just combined.

• Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. If you are pressed for time, you can put dough in the freezer for a few hours. Dough will be sticky.

• Spread flour your counter and rolling pin and roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Cut out cookies. I used a 2 inch round cutter.
• Bake at 425 on parchment lined cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes or until the cookie barely turns lightly brown around the bottom edge. Do not overcook these cookies!
• Transfer to a rack to cool.

Be sure and don’t overbake these cookies.  You want them to still look white, just barely turning a little golden, I mean very little.  Just around the bottom edge, ever so slightly.

I used my favorite buttercream frosting recipe to frost them.  And of course sprinkles are required. Now enjoy1
