How to Make Sour Cream Softies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 4 inches between each cookie.
  6. Gently spread each cookie to a 2-inch round.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cookies.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Keep a close eye on them, as oven temperatures vary).
  10. Remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire racks before serving.
