Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for optional glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for optional glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Add the sour cream to the wet mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden color. The tops should remain pale.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on them for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
