Swedish Sourdough Cookies (aka, Lofthouse copycats)

This is a recipe I found while looking for soft, cakey cut-outs. People seem to think they taste like a brand called Lofthouse.

• 1 c butter
  
• 1 c sugar
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1-1/2 c sour cream
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• 5 c flour, plus extra for rolling
  

Beat together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and sour cream.

Mix together dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out dough to a 1/4 to 3/8 inch thickness using a generous amount of flour. Cut out shapes and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Frost and decorate.
