Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk shape, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
7. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes from the dough. Transfer the cut-out cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space in between each cookie.
8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining portion of dough.
10. Once the cookies are fully cooled, decorate them with your favorite frosting or sprinkles. Enjoy!
