Sour Cream Cookies
These are so tangy and sweet, like the perfect combination of cookies and cake.
Prep Time:15 minutes mins
Cook Time:10 minutes mins
Total Time:25 minutes mins
Servings:24 cookies
For the cookies:
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
For the glaze:
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- ¼ cup sour cream
To make the cookies:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and sour cream and mix again until well combined. Then add in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until just combined. The dough should be somewhat wet.
Use a cookie scoop or roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes until the edges start to turn a little brown and then remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before you remove them from the cookie sheets.
- Keep an eye on the cookies towards the end of the baking time and take them out of the oven as soon as the edges are turning golden.
- Feel free to swap the sour cream and confectioners' sugar glaze for any other frosting you want to use instead. Melted chocolate drizzle on top is also good or you could add sprinkles.
- Another option would be skipping the glaze altogether and rolling the cookie balls in cinnamon sugar or granulated sugar before baking instead.
- Bring the ingredients to room temperature before you begin, so they incorporate better. You can submerge the eggs in warm water to speed up the process.
