How to Make Sour Cream Cookies Grandma Diehl's Recipe
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup shortening, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 cup sour cream in a large bowl using a standing mixer.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface and rolling pin.
- Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are very lightly browned. Do not overbake!
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
