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.
