Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.
Incorporate Egg and Sour Cream: Add in the egg and sour cream, mixing well until the ingredients are fully blended, creating a smooth batter.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda and salt with the flour. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, blending until just combined.
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out your preferred shapes.
Bake the Cookies: Place the cut cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your soft, sweet creations with friends and family!
