How to Make Sour Cream Cookies W Burnt Butter Icing

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the sour cream until the dough is smooth.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the burnt butter icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a light brown color and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
  11. Remove the burnt butter from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  12. In a separate bowl, beat the powdered sugar and salt until smooth.
  13. Gradually add the cooled burnt butter to the powdered sugar mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.
  14. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  15. Once the cookies are completely cool, frost them with the burnt butter icing.
