Soft and chewy sugar cookie recipes?

Everywhere I look I can't find a really good chewy sugar cookie recipe. All of the ones I find have frosting and sprinkles and extra stuff. I love the sugar cookies at Hometown buffet, anyone know what I'm talking about? Does anyone have a good recipe for me? I am craving them so bad.


Thank you in advance.Soft and chewy sugar cookie recipes?

BEST sugar cookies ever. Sour cream is the key!





Cream together:


2 cups of sugar


3/4 cup of butter


2 eggs


1/2 cup of sour cream (or more!)





Sift together than add to liquid:


1 teaspoon baking soda


2 teaspoons of baking powder


vanilla to flavor


Approximately 4 cups of flour.





You need a good mixer to incorporate that much flour! I have a Kitchenaid.





Halve the dough and chill for about an hour. Heat the oven to 375.





Roll out on a floured surface. Roll the dough kind of thick (at least 2 cm). Cut into whatever shapes you want. Bake for 8-10 minutes (less is better). I like to use parchment paper instead of foil and no-stick spray.





(Icing - 1 c powdered sugar, little bit of almond extract, 2 tbs milk, 1 tbs corn syrup, food coloring)
you can make the cookie and not put the frosting on it and to make it chewy bake at 325 F and make sure not to over bake
