How to Make Fluffy Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg yolk and ½ cup sour milk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat 1 large egg white until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the stiffened egg whites into the cookie dough.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
  9. Sprinkle with additional granulated sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture, if desired.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
