How to Make Amish Sugar Cookies With Frosting
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened Crisco, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor development.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
