Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 6
Gently fold the sour cream into the dough until evenly incorporated. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly matte. Avoid overbaking to ensure soft cookies.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
