$100 Sour Cream Drop Cookies :)

Cookies:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 cup sour cream

Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 Tlb. cream (not whipped)

Combine dry ingredients in bowl and set aside.  In separate bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla, almond extract and sour cream.  Slowly add dry ingredients to sugar mixture.  Mix until combined.

Chill dough 4 hours or overnight.  Drop by heaping teaspoons onto cookie sheet.  Bake 10-12 minutes in 375 degree oven.  Cool and frost.

To make frosting, combine all frosting ingredients together and beat until desired consistency.

Make sure that the dough is chilled for at least 4 hours.  The dough is very soft and it will spread all over your cookie sheets if it gets to room temperature.  This is Carol's family reunion auction cookie recipe that kind hearted family bid way too much for!! :)  Enjoy!
