Jubilee Jumbles Aka Sour Cream Sugar Cookies Recipes

SOUR CREAM JUMBLES

Steps:

• Place margarine and 1 3/4 cups sugar in large mixing bowl; beat with electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat 1 to 2 minutes more.
• In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour cream to creamed mixture. Mix 2 minutes or until dough is smooth. Chill dough for 30 minutes. Dough will be very soft, but resist the temptation to add more flour.
• Preheat oven to 350. Shape tablespoonsful of dough into balls. Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll cookie balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.

JUBILEE JUMBLES (A.K.A - SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES)

Steps:

• Measure the brown sugar, salt, baking soda, sour cream, shortening, eggs, and vanilla into a mixing bowl and cream together until it is thoroughly mixed. Using a flour sifter, measure the flour into the sifter according to the measurements called for above, and then sift the flour into the mixed wet ingredients. Mix in the mixer or with a hand held mixer for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. It should be a bit thicker than cake batter.
• Refrigerate 1 hour so that the dough sets up. (This will give you time to clean up a bit.).
• Once dough has set up a bit, drop it in spoon-fulls onto a greased cookie sheet, or a cookie sheet that uses pan liners. Don't put more than 12 on a cookie sheet. Try not to over cook them.
• BAKE: 375 Degrees.
• TIME: 10 minutes.
• *Bake, and once removed from the oven, let cook for about 10 minutes before you frost them. Once you have frosted them, you can eat them right away, or later. These are truly yummy!
• FROSTING DIRECTIONS:
• Make sure that the butter/margarine is soft before you start. Add all ingredients and mix for about 2 minutes until frosting is smooth. You may have to add more hot water by the teaspoon to get the frosting to the right consistency, or more powdered sugar. The frosting should be a thick glaze consistency. I usually double this recipe so that I have enough frosting. (My kids like more frosting!).

APPLESAUCE JUMBLES

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix all ingredients except Browned Butter Glaze with spoon. (If dough is soft, cover and refrigerate.)
• Heat oven to 375°F. On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake about 10 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Spread with Browned Butter Glaze.
• BROWNED BUTTER GLAZE: In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat until golden brown. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in hot water until smooth and spreadable.

JUBILEES
