Easy cut-out cookies that are wonderful anytime of year. I received this recipe when I was in grade school so it is a good recipe to have kids help with.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 egg
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg and sour cream. Then stir in the baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour until dough becomes too difficult to stir. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in flour until dough is no longer sticky.

3
Roll the dough out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on unprepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should be lightly browned at the edges. Remove from the baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

Overnight Breakfast Casserole
This overnight breakfast casserole is pretty and colorful, with a good balance of vegetables and sausage, tender eggs, and hash browns. It's easy to put together, and makes enough for a crowd.
Slow Cooker Pork Cacciatore
A wonderful Italian neighbor showed me how to make this slow cooker pork cacciatore recipe after I commented on how good it made the neighborhood smell when she had her windows open when she made it. This American-Italian term refers to food prepared hunter-style, with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, various herbs, and sometimes wine. I found adding cheese gave it something special; it also made it mine.
Dog Food Dip
This "dog food" dip recipe was given to me by a co-worker some 15 or more years ago. She made it for potlucks at work, and it was always gone from the nurse's station before the rest of the food was put out! It's a simple mixture of beef, cheese, and jalapeños but it should always be made a day in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Serve with your favorite corn chips.
