How to Make Soft Sugar Cookie Cutouts
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour your work surface.
- Roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, decorate as desired with frosting, sprinkles, or other toppings!
