Weekly Meal Plan:

Monday –Copycat Panera Bread Cheddar Broccoli Soup, Bread

And our Dessert is….
Super Soft Sugar Cookies!

Here is my Mom’s Super Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe. These are soooooo good!!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter

1 3/4 cup sugar

1 cup sour cream (makes the cookies so soft!)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

4 cups flour

Directions:

Mix ingredients in large bowl (i use large mixer). Dough will be very sticky. Cover and chill dough in fridge for about 1 hour. Roll out dough on floured surface, not too thin. Cut with cookie cutter and place on non greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 6 to 10 min. (I watch them carefully, they tend to bake fast if the dough is too thin. I take them out when the edges just start to look brown. Cool on cooling rack. Once frosted store in airtight container.

Frosting: (mix together-add food coloring if desired)

1 pkg cream cheese, soft

1 cup soft butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla
