Dinner was so delicious!&#8221; She serves by feeding us, then serves again by giving me the recipe! About a week before Valentine&#8217;s Day this year her family brought over these most amazing sugar cookies. I&#8217;m off sugar right now and have been for months but I crumpled when I saw those chewy cookies with the thick pink butter-cream frosting. Why do treats taste better in pastel colors? They are truly THE BEST sugar cookies ever! Use a royal icing recipe for beautiful decorating like the examples below. Use butter-cream frosting for deliciousness.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/livingfullonlife.instance.website\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/il_fullxfull.17597825-150x150.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Becky&#8217;s Best Sugar Cookies<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT1H15M\">1 hour 15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT8M\">8 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT1H23M\">1 hour 23 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">2 dozen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 c butter<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 c sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 c sour cream<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 eggs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 t vanilla<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">\u00bd t soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4 t baking powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">\u00bd t salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">4 \u00bd &#8211; 5 \u00bd c flour (add closer to 5 \u00bd)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Combine all ingredients and chill in fridge 1 hr or overnight.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook less than ten minutes or until there is the slightest hint of golden on the edges.
