Sugar Cookies

This is my go-to recipe for sugar cookies any time I want to decorate cookie. Here's a picture of some of the more fabulous creations we have made of this:

1/2 C butter
1 C sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 1/4 C flour
1/2 C sour cream

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in egg. Add vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Stir in about half of the flour. Add the sour cream then the remaining flour. Roll the dough about 1/4" thick and cut into the shapes of your choice. You can store this dough in the fridge if you run out of creativity for cutting and decorating before you run out of dough!
