Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
Fill a cookie press with the dough, using your desired shape plate attachment.
Press the cookies directly onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
If desired, sprinkle festive sprinkles onto the cookies for decoration before baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
