Super Soft Sugar Cookies


Sugar Cookie
1 box white cake mix
2/3 c flour
2 eggs
1/3 c oil
2 T sour cream
1 t vanilla

Preheat oven to 350°.

Mix dry cake mix and flour then add eggs, oil, sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Using small cookie scoop form into 1" balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.

Flatten balls with heel of hand to about 1/2″ thick. Bake 10-12 minutes, until set. Do not overbake, there should be no browning on edges. Remove to wire rack immediately after baking and cool completely before frosting. Store frosted cookies in airtight container. Yield 30 cookies.

Fluffy Frosting
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c butter, softened
1/4 c milk
1 t vanilla
1 T meringue powder
3 T Dream Whip powder
1 pound powdered sugar (approximately 4 cups), sifted

Beat shortening and butter until smooth and blended. Add milk and vanilla. Beat for one minute then add meringue powder, Dream Whip powder and sugar, (add food color if desired) and mix well on low until blended. Beat on medium high until light and fluffy. Generously frost cookies and add sprinkles. Yield 3 cups frosting (which is way more than is needed for the cookie recipe so be prepared to have extra).
