Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (for icing)
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for icing)
• 1 tablespoons Milk (optional, for icing consistency)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The cookies should remain soft and pale in the center.

Step 8

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

Step 9

While the cookies cool, make the burnt butter icing. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 10

Remove the browned butter from the heat and pour it into a mixing bowl. Let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. If the icing is too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 12

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the burnt butter icing generously over the tops of each cookie.

Step 13

Allow the icing to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sour Cream Cookies with Burnt Butter Icing!
