Can I substitute cake flour or is that just for cakes? Looking to use royal icing would these work? My mom had an awesome sour cream cookie cut out recipe, but it was lost when the house burned down. So I'm in search.... thanks. -
Do these hold their shape ?

I always hated doing cut out cookies because I never liked the taste of any I had tried but that all changed with this recipe... THEY ARE WONDERFUL. With and without icing.. They should come with a warning thought, they are very addictive, don't sit within arms reach of a plate of them or they'll be gone in no time.. They only thing I changed was instead of rolling them on a floured surface I used Confectionary sugar to roll them out on. -
Made these today with my kids, the dough is very easy to work with. They are very tender thanks to the sour cream. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and a dash of fresh nutmeg to pump up the flavor. Great recipe, thanks gor the post! -
These are awesome cut-out cookies. I mainly picked this recipe because it didn't need to chill like most others, and I'm so glad i did! They looked perfect out of the oven and tasted perfect too. This will be my "Go-To" cut-out cookie recipe from now on. It's going in the keeper file! Thanks for posting! -
These turned out lovely! I subbed 1/2 cup Splenda in for 1/2 of the sugar, used Smart Balance in place of the butter and used light sour cream. I still prefer my usual sugar cookie recipe, but I needed a recipe that didn't need to chill, so this fit the bill! Kids had a great time cutting out their cookies and we all ate way too many. Thanks for a great recipe!

Wonderful cookies. I had a friend that made these years ago. The original recipe was in a Better Homes and Garden cookbook, published in late fifties or early sixties. She would add nutmeg to the dough or sometimes flavor it with Anise flavoring(not the seeds)or she would just add the anise to the frosting. She also included vanilla flavoring with the anise.

Bake on an ungreased airbake pan with no parchment for 12 min then let sit on pan for 5 minutes before cooling on a wire rack. -

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
