📝 Instructions

13 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

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

3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

5

Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each mound of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.

9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10

While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.

11

Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the frosting and beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until evenly tinted.

12

Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread a generous layer of frosting on top of each cookie and decorate with sprinkles, if desired.

13

Allow the frosting to set for 15-20 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
