Description:

Indulge in the delightful taste of these moist and rich sugar cookies. The secret ingredient? Sour cream! It adds a soft, tender texture to the cookies, making them an instant favorite. For optimal results, chill the dough for at least 2 hours before rolling it out. Perfect for any occasion or as a sweet treat for your loved ones.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Cream the butter and sugar:
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. This will ensure a smooth texture for your cookies.

  2. Beat in eggs and extracts:
    Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined, ensuring a homogeneous batter.

  3. Prepare the sour cream mixture:
    In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda into the sour cream until dissolved. Then, pour this mixture into the creamed butter and sugar. Stir until fully incorporated.

  4. Sift dry ingredients:
    In another bowl, sift together the salt, baking powder, and flour. This step helps to aerate the dry ingredients, resulting in a lighter cookie texture.

  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients:
    Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.

  6. Chill the dough:
    Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to roll out.

  7. Roll out the dough:
    Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, re-rolling the scraps as needed.

  8. Bake the cookies:
    Place the cut-out cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  9. Cool and enjoy:
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, indulge in these moist and rich sugar cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
