Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

4 ½ cups flour

½ tsp salt

1 cup sour cream

2 tsp. vanilla

½ tsp. baking soda

4 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp nutmeg

Cream sugar and butter; add eggs and beat until fluffy. Mix in everything else except flour and sour cream. Alternate flour then sour cream, flour then sour cream. Refrigerate overnite or put in the freezer for an hour. Roll out on a floured surface…thicker than you usually do (about ¼ to ½ inch) Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for 10-12 minutes (depending on your cookie sheet…dark or shiny) Do not overbake…the edges should not get brown. Cool and Frost with Butter Cream Frosting.
