Sugar Cookie with Cream Cheese Frosting

I like this Sugar Cookie recipe because it makes soft sugar cookies and I don't have to chill the dough. The cookie recipe is from my BYU ward cookbook and the cream cheese frosting recipe is from my Pillsbury cookbook.

Sugar Cookies
3 1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. almond
1/2 c. sour cream

Soft together flour, soda and salt. Combine butter, sugar, egg and flavoring, then beat. Add sour cream, then flour mixture. Roll out, and cut out desired shapes. Cook on greased cookie sheet for 7 minutes at 400 degrees.

Cream Cheese Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 Tbl. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla

In large bowl, combine all ingredients, beat until smooth. Add coloring, frost cookies and add sprinkles if desired.
