Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Frosting Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- With your mixer cream together 1/2 cup softened butter with 1 cup sugar and mix for a couple of minutes until smooth.
- Add in sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and mix well.
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix well.
- Measure three tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Use your hands to roll each piece of cookie dough into a smooth ball.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheets, making sure to leave about 1 inch between each cookie. Use your hand to lightly flatten the dough a bit.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, then immediately remove from the oven. The cookies will appear under-baked a bit but this is what you want. Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and repeat the process until all of the dough is gone.
- To make the frosting, beat butter with a mixer for about 30 seconds, then add in powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Add in vanilla and 1-2 tablespoons of milk and mix until light and fluffy.
- Use a knife to slather each cookie with frosting. Top with sprinkles.
Notes
You can make these a bit smaller by using 2 tablespoons of dough and baking for 10 minutes.
