Cookies from Prom

Sour Cream Cookies
(famous at Garden Party Prom)

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup margarine
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

Cream sugar, margarine and eggs. Add sour cream and vanilla, mix. Add sifted dry ingredients. Chill before rolling out. Roll to 1/4 inch thick and cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
3-5 Tbs. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract

Blend and adjust to desired consistency (you may need to add more milk to thin out if you want to dip cookies in the glaze).
