PAIGE'S SOUR CREAM CUT OUT COOKIES

Paige's Sour Cream Cut out Cookies image

This is my friend Paige's recipe. She would bring them decorated in whatever holiday theme (she was big on decorating them in pastels). There were rarely any left. These are very soft and cake-like cookie and the Recipe #43332 is a must. IMO
