Fat White Cookies with Frosting

These were always my favorite cookie in high school.  My mom would often indulge me and get a package of these from the grocery store.  I never knew exactly what they were really called, but I called them fat white cookies.  I loved how they were a thick white cookie - and not browned!  I love my cookies soft and chewy and these certainly fit the bill.  The store bought kind were also perfectly frosted. mmmm.
One day I stumbled upon this recipe and while they don't look nearly as pretty as the store bought kind, I think the addition of the sour cream to the dough certainly makes them soft and fluffy just like the store bought variety.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Fat White Cookies - Lofthouse Style

Ingredients:
6    cups    flour 
1    teaspoon    baking soda 
1    teaspoon    baking powder 
1/2    teaspoon    salt 
1    cup    unsalted butter ( room temp ) 
2    cups    sugar 
3    eggs 
2    teaspoons    vanilla extract 
16    ounces    sour cream 

For the Frosting
1    cup    unsalted butter ( room temperature ) 
1    teaspoon    vanilla extract 
4    cups    powdered sugar 
   pinch    salt 
6    tablespoons    heavy cream 

Directions:
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy - mixing for about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until well incorporated. Add the vanilla and sour cream and mix at a low speed until combined. Add the dry ingredients (slowly) and beat until just combined. The dough will be quite sticky. Divide dough into two sections. Flatten into rectangles about 1 1/2 inches thick and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight. 
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out cookies, or use cookie scoop to drop cookies onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake cookies for 7 minutes. Immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool. 
To make the frosting - cream together the butter and vanilla. Slowly add the powdered sugar and salt. Once smooth and creamy, add in the heavy cream. Finally, beat at a medium speed for a few minutes until light and fluffy. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring.
