Cookies & Cream Cookies

I made these cookies for FHE treats the other night, and they were SO YUMMY! Especially the dough! Just use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, and instead of chocolate chips, fold in broken up pieces of oreos. So good......got the idea from pinterest :)

SOFT Sugar Cookies

This is the recipe I've been searching for for years!  These are SO SOFT and good and PERFECT! 

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES

1 cup sour cream
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
6 cups flour, approximately
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream.  Add dry ingredients, mix thoroughly (it will be sticky, don't add too much flour).  Chill in the fridge 2-3 hours.  Roll dough out, cut into shapes. (I left my dough pretty thick, at least 1/2 inch, when I rolled it out.  And try to work and roll the dough as LITTLE as possible after you chill it.)  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. (Watch them, and don't let them over cook, and they will be perfect.) Cool and frost with icing.
