Soft Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

Submitted by Winepedler

"This is a delicious Sugar Cookie that I have been making for years. If you roll them a little thick and don't over bake, they are the best and stay moist. Use whatever cookie cutter suits the occasion! Make sure to refrigerate the dough overnight."
