Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract and sour cream and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Using a large cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers no longer appear wet. The cookies should not brown much.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, frost the cooled cookies with your favorite icing and decorate with sprinkles for added flair.
