the BEST sugar cookies ever

if you are ever feeling down in the dumps then you need these cookies in your life. not only will they give you a light fluffy sunny feeling and turn your despair around but they will also boost your confidence to levels you've never even felt before! no joke these cookies will do wonders for your self esteem, your popularity and best yet, your ego!

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
3 Tbl spoons of sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 3/4 cup flour.

I mix the wet ingredients first and then the dry. (another great thing about these cookies, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to get it just right!). once all the ingredients have been mixed well together divide the dough in half and wrap in saran wrap and put in the refrigerator for a few hours. I usually let my dough chill overnight, but if you're in a hurry a couple hours should be fine.

also to note, your dough might seem really sticky when you're done mixing it and wraping it with saran wrap, but I don't add any more flour because when I roll the dough out to cut the cookies I always sprinkle flour on the counter and on the rolling pin so it gets any extra flour it might need at this stage in the game. plus chilling the dough makes it less sticky.

now for the icing...

2/3 cup butter mixed with
3 cups powder sugar (add more if needed)
1/2  cup of milk and
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla 
1/2 teaspoon almond extract!

I dare anyone to write and tell me that after they made these cookies they weren't asked by more then one person (who they might not even have known) for the recipe!!!! they're just that good!
