Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one portion of the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Keep the remaining dough in the fridge while working.
Step 8
Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Decorate as desired with frosting, sprinkles, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
