Ingredients List:

For The Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar (400g)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, fluffed and leveled (500g)

For The Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons milk

How to Make Sour Cream Sugar Cookies:

1. Preparing the Cookie Dough:

  • Start by taking a large bowl and using an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar on high speed until the mixture becomes creamy.
  • Gradually add in the eggs, vanilla, and sour cream, continuing to beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Now, add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mixing them in until they’re fully incorporated.
  • Slowly add the flour, beating on a low speed, until no white remains. The resulting dough will be soft, resembling cake batter, which is the desired consistency.

2. Baking the Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced 2-3 inches apart.
  • Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges turn a golden color and the centers are set.

3. Preparing the Frosting:

  • In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it becomes smooth.
  • Gradually add the powdered icing sugar, vanilla, and milk, continuing to beat until the frosting is smooth. If needed, you can adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or milk.
  • If you wish, you can add some color to the frosting at this stage.

4. Decorating the Cookies:

  • Once the cookies have cooled down, spread the prepared frosting over each cookie. You can also add sprinkles or other decorations if desired.
