How to Make Soft Drop Sugar Cookie Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a one-quart wide-mouth jar. Pack firmly.
  5. Secure the lid and attach these instructions.
  6. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients from the jar to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
  10. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
