Favorite Sugar Cookies and Frosting

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 t. almond extract
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
3 1/4 cups flour

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, sour cream, almond extract, vanilla and mix well. Add soda, salt and flour and mix on low just until combined. Roll dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours (I just add a little extra flour and skip the refrigeration process). Roll out on floured surface and cut into shapes. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375 for 6 to 8 minutes. (These cookies don't brown.) Cool on racks and then frost.


FROSTING:
1/3 cup butter softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. almond extract

In mixing bowl, beat butter slowly with powdered sugar. Add milk and continue to beat. Add vanilla, almond extract. If needed, add more milk to make frosting spreading consistency. Color with food coloring if desired. ENJOY!
