Sour Cream Christmas Cookies

These are great Christmas Cookies that we make with the kids during the holidays. I do not think I have ever had these any where else, so I thought I would share this recipe. They are very good and fun to make with the kids. My wife makes the dough and rolls it out, letting the kids use the cookie cutters to make there favorite holiday shapes. We also make three or four separate bowls of colored frosting and let the kids help frosting the cookies.
