    Sour Cream Sugar Christmas Cookies are so fun to make. You will want to use cookie cutters and decorate with your favorite frosting or sprinkles. I used my favorite buttercream frosting.

    Sugar cookies usually scare me. Often I roll them too thin or the dough turns out too crumbly. This time they came out really well. My guess is it was the sour cream that did the trick. It makes them extra soft and yummy.

    Making all these Christmas goodies has been so much fun. Even though, this year has been a little different ,I still wanted to bake and make treats . Some of my favorites have been Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, Nestle Peppermint Truffle Cookies and Salty Sweet Crockpot Christmas Candy. Have you tried any or all of them? I hope so. I would love if you would stop back and tell me how they came out and if you changed anything.

    Can These Cookies Be Made Ahead A Time ?

    Yes they absolutely can be baked a head a time and kept in airtight containers . On counter up to a week or in the freezer for 3-4 months .

    Is Buttercream Frosting the only Way to Decorate ?

    No it is not. Many people use Royal Icing to decorate , cream cheese frosting is good, some like just sprinkles. Personally - I love thick Buttercream frosting .
