Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or a stand mixer set to medium speed.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
On low speed, add the sour cream to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
