Servings:
8
Ingredients
1 1/2
cups
sugar
1
cup
unsalted butter
3
eggs
1
cup
sour cream
1/2
teaspoon
freshly ground nutmeg
1
teaspoon

5
cups
all-purpose flour

2
teaspoon

3/4
teaspoon

Confectioner’s sugar
or sprinkles
raisins for eyes for ghosts
Instructions
Cream butter, gradually add sugar. Once mixed add sour cream.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes
Add eggs one at a time. Add Vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together including nutmeg and salt. Add in a little at a time.
Chill thoroughly.
Divide the dough by four, and wrap each individually.
Work with one piece of dough at a time, leaving the rest in refrigerator.
Flour surface and when using cooking cutter, pull dough away from cutter, as this is soft dough.
Roll out, cut into desired shapes. Sprinkle with sugar, or decorate accordingly.
Notes
This dough is best chilled overnight. I used raisins for ghost eyes and glazed bat cookies after baking and then did the sprinkles.
