Ingredients
6 cups flour1 tsp baking powder1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt1 cup butter, softened2 cups sugar3 eggs1 tsp. vanilla extract1 1/2 cups non-fat sour cream1 canister vanilla frosting (or homemade)sprinkles for decoration
Directions
Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, blend together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream and stir until combined. Add in the flour mixture and stir until everything comes together in a stiff dough. Divide dough in two and wrap each portion in plastic wrap; chill for at least 3 hours. On a floured surface, roll out each half of the dough to about 1/4-1/8 in thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place on an ungreased baking sheet; repeat with remaining dough. Bake the cookies at 425 degrees F. for 7-11 minutes, until the cookies are set. Remove cookies from pan to cooling racks to cool completely.

Frost and decorate as desired.

     These are delicious to bring to someone else's house for a party! Being diabetic, I need to use my calories a bit more wisely, it's just too easy to rack up the carbs and calories on this one! :-( - 3/10/14

     I have a very similar recipe and use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and a sugar substitute. They are delicious. - 3/10/14

     This is a silly recipe for a site like this! And you think folks who have food addiction will just have one? - 3/17/16

     I left the icing off and just put a few green sprinkles on the cookies before I baked them. This saved 39 calories. At 103 calories each and much less sugar and carbs I was able to enjoy a few. - 3/17/19

     Another recipe that is mostly fat, sugar and simple carbs. Recipes like this are all over. I expect a site that is dedicated to weight control and better health to provide recipes that are somewhat nutritious. Deserts and holiday foods can include whole grains, nuts and fruits.

     Not enough fiber or protein for me to use that many calories for one cookie. And too many left overs to have around the house. Too much temptation. - 3/17/18

     These may be low fat, but are still very high in sugar and carbs. Not a suitable recipe for a healthy living website -- and look who submitted the recipe!! - 3/17/17
