Banana Cookies & Sugar Cookies

I have had a few different people ask me for these recipes, so I decided it would be easier just to post them on here!

These are my mom's Sugar Cookies:

1 cup butter

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking soda

4 tsp baking powder

4 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

Cream butter & sugar. Add Sour Cream. Add eggs. Sift dry ingredients. Refrigerate dough after mixing-- I usually make the dough the night before and keep in the fridge over night, and roll out the dough the next morning.

350 degrees. 14-17 minutes. lightly pam pans, or use parchment paper.

Cream cheese frosting:

1/2 cup softened butter

8 oz. Cream cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

1 Tb Vanilla

4 cups powdered sugar

mix all together

**Tyler wanted me to add that these are better the day after you cook and frost them... They are still good the first day, but delicious the second!
