How to Make Sour Cream Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite buttercream frosting once completely cool. Enjoy!
