Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- optional sprinkles or sugar for decoration
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Mix in the sour cream, ensuring it is evenly incorporated throughout the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing; the dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cookie dough portions with decorative sugar or sprinkles for a festive touch.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The centers should appear soft and slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these soft, tangy sour cream sugar cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
