Soft Brown Sugar Cookies



I read Meredith's post about these on Friday and decided we HAD to try them this weekend! My little baking assistant, Owen helped me make these! The recipe made a lot so we decided to share with a few of our neighbors! And the batch we kept for ourselves is history!! Sooo good you have to try them!

1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt

Directions:

Blend together butter and brown sugar.  Add eggs, one at a time; blend well.  Add vanilla; beat until light.  In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream; mix well.  Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto non-stick or lightly greased baking sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.  Remove to a wire rack; cool.  Frost with Browned Butter Frosting.  Makes 2 dozen
