Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each portion into a disk, and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.

Step 7

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

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are just barely starting to turn golden. Do not overbake.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough.

Step 12

Once the cookies are completely cool, decorate them as desired with icing, sprinkles, or other decorations. Enjoy!
