Soft Brown Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

2/3 c. butter, softened

1-1/2 c. brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla extract

2-1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 t. baking powder

1 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

1 c. sour cream 

(Frosting recipe below)

This is what soft butter looks like. If you press down moderately you should leave a fingerprint mark, but your hand shouldn't go through the stick of butter. 

Blend together butter and brown sugar. 

Add eggs, one at a time; blend well.  Add vanilla; beat until light.  In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream; mix well. 

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto non-stick or lightly greased baking sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.  Remove to a wire rack; cool.

1-1/2 c. powdered sugar
