I got this recipe from Martha Stewart's website (once again). Of course, they don't compare to my grandmother's (we call her "Sugar") sugar cookies, but they sure are good. Maybe one day I'll blog "Sugar's" sugar cookie. I don't think I've ever made a cookie this big before. Only 5 of them fit on the cookie sheet. Wow!
Ingredients:-Makes 10
2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with one rack in upper third and another in lower third. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat well to combine.
With mixer on low, add half the flour mixture, followed by sour cream, then remaining flour mixture; mix just until smooth. (Dough will be stiff; you may need to finish mixing it by hand with a wooden spoon.)
Drop mounds of dough, each equal to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 4 inches apart, onto two ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until edges of cookies are just firm and tops are barely beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheets once halfway through. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.

I looooove sugar cookies and these look so good. Only thing better than a plain sugar cookie is a GIANT sugar cookie. YUM!
How many calories?????? :-)
Girl I have been eating so many sugar cookies this week. They are so soft. I got them from brunos. I also made baked ziti and way over salted it on accident. I wanted to cry because I tried so hard!
