Best Sugar Cookies EVER!!


This is a staple recipe in our house. These are the BEST sugar cookies you will ever eat. I don't know if it's the shortening or the sour cream, but SOMETHING in them makes them SO SOFT & they will literally last WEEKS. We make these for friends at Christmastime & we had a few friends say they ate theirs 3 weeks after I made them & they were still soft & delicious. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Grandma Cherry's Sugar Cookies:

1 cup THRIVE Shortening Powder reconstituted (or 1 cup Shortening)
2 teaspoons Vanilla
3 teaspoons THRIVE Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon THRIVE Iodized Salt
4 Eggs (or 4 Tablespoons THRIVE Egg Powder + 8 Tablespoons Water)
1 cup THRIVE Sour Cream Powder reconstituted (or 1 cup Sour Cream)

Cream sugar & shortening.

Add soda, salt, eggs, & sour cream & mix well.

Add 6 cups of flour & mix well.

Keep adding flour until the dough forms a large ball & is no longer sticky. . . similar to bread dough. Knead the dough a minute or two & form into a ball.

Roll the dough out & cut with cookie cutters & bake cookies at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes. The softer the better. But I guarantee these will stay soft for a VERY long time if you cook them just right. I usually cook mine 7 minutes.

This batch I decided to roll 1/2 of my batch onto a pizza stone & baked a GIANT cookie the size of a pizza.


Once my giant cookie cooled, I spread some strawberry cream cheese on top. . . mmmm.


Then added fruit for a FABULOUS fruit pizza.
