Add sour cream and eggs and vanilla

In separate bowl, whisk the first 2 C flour with the baking powder and salt

Stir in additional 3-4 C flour 1 cup at a time to make a soft dough but not too sticky.

Now you can roll dough on well-floured surface to 3/4" and cut shapes and ice with cream cheese frosting.
**You may want to just roll them in sugar and bake

Bake cookies 8 - 10 min. until edges just start to brown,
Bake squares for 15 min or until set.

Personal Notes:
These are our favorite sugar cookie because they're light, not dense.
If the dough is not over-handled or too dry and stiff with too much flour, these are very tender.
