Great Grandma B's Cut Out Cookie Recipe

I know I was very blessed to know all of my Grandparents and some of my Great Grandparents.  Not only was I able to know them but I enjoyed them as well!  Great Grandma Beadle was a Fabulous baker! I loved visiting her because she always had fresh made cookies!  I loved her squeaky back door, the smell that greeted you as you entered her kitchen, and the coolest retro table and chairs! I loved the old metal outdoor furniture she had too!  My favorite cookies that she made were her molasses, cut out and snicker doodle.  Well...all of her cookies were my favorite :) Here is her cut-out cookie recipe!  Enjoy!

1c. Crisco (I use 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup crisco)

4 Egg Yolks

1 c. sugar

1 t. salt

1 t. vanilla

Beat until smooth and set aside Bowl #1

3 c. flour

2 t. Baking Powder

stir in bowl #2

8 oz. Sour Cream

Mix Bowl #2 and Sour Cream into Bowl #1 on low or by hand

Chill 1 hour

Roll out on a floured surface ( I use my silpat to prevent sticking) to aout 1/4 inch thick.

 Bake at 350 degrees 8 - 10 minutes. You do not want them to turn brown!

 While you wait on the first few trays, cut out some more!

 To Frost:

Mix a small bag of powder Sugar, 

1 T soft butter,  

2 - 3 T Milk (to consistency), 

almond extract to flavor and food coloring

 Let set overnight and package them up to deliver!

 Add a few extra special touches and you are ready for a Harvest Party!

Happy Fall!
