- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disc.
- Wrap the discs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes and transfer the cutouts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, decorate them with icing or frosting as desired.
- Allow the icing to set before serving and enjoying!
