Finnish Sour Cream Cookies

Since St. Valentine's Day is right around the corner I have had many requests from people for cookies, candies, ect... One of my friends asked me if I had any recipes that were Valentineish in nature so, here is an easy one. These can have food colouring added to them to make them pink, red, or any colour that you want them to be. 


Ingredients

• 1 cup of butter
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• Food colouring of choosing

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl
• In a separate bowl, cream together sour cream, salt, and vanilla
• Add together
• Add food colouring if desired
• Chill for about 1 hour
• Roll out and cut into various shapes with cookie cutters
• Grease cookie sheets
• Bake for 10 minutes

And that is it! They are easy and are fun to make. I like to frost mine like sugar cookies, but leaving them plain is fine too. If you have trouble rolling the dough out all you need to do is let it warm up just a bit and it will be fine.
