Soft Giant Sugar Cookies

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. sour cream
Sugar or frosting for cookie tops

Cream butter until smooth. Add sugar gradually. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

Sift together dry ingredients; add to the creamed ingredients alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Refrigerate dough for about an hour before forming cookies.

Using a 1/4 c. measure of batter for each cookie, drop onto well-greased cookie sheet. Cookies will be approximately 5 inches across, so space accordingly. Flatten cookies with spatula to about 4 inches across. Sprinkle with sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake at 400° for about 10-12 minutes.

Makes approximately 18 5-inch cookies or 30 3-inch cookies.
