Hey cookie lovers! 🌟 Today, I’m bringing you a recipe that’s gonna be your new favorite: Sour Cream Cookies!
hese cookies are soft, fluffy, and have a little tangy twist thanks to the sour cream. They’re perfect for when you want something sweet but not too sweet, you know? Plus, they’re super easy to make, so let’s dive right in!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Let’s Bake Some Cookies!
- Preheat the Oven!
First up, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This keeps your cookies from sticking, which is a total win!
2nd: Cream the Butter and Sugar!
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is where your cookies start getting all that delicious flavor!
3rd: Mix in the Wet Ingredients!
Crack in the egg and add the vanilla extract. Mix until everything’s combined. Now, stir in the sour cream. This is the secret ingredient that makes these cookies so soft and tender
4th: Combine the Dry Ingredients!
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. You don’t want to overmix here, or your cookies might turn out tough (and nobody wants that!).
6th: Scoop and Bake!
Using a cookie scoop or just a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets.
7th: Make sure to leave some space between each cookie because they’re gonna spread a little in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. They should still be soft in the center when you take them out—trust me on this!
Cool and Enjoy!
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, if you’re like me and can’t wait, sneak a warm one straight from the tray. 😋
