Instructions

STEP NO.1: PREHEAT OVEN

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP NO.2: MIX DRY INGREDIENTS

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

STEP NO.3: CREAM BUTTER AND SUGAR

  1. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and sour cream, mixing until smooth.

STEP NO.4: COMBINE WET AND DRY INGREDIENTS

  1. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

STEP NO.5: SHAPE AND DECORATE

  1. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on the baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball and top with festive sprinkles.

STEP NO.6: BAKE THE COOKIES

  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Sour Cream: Adds moisture for a softer cookie.
  • Chill Dough: For even softer cookies, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Don’t Overbake: The cookies should look slightly underbaked when removed from the oven.
  • Festive Additions: Try adding red and green M&M’s or white chocolate chips for extra holiday fun!
  • Almond Christmas Cookies: Add ½ teaspoon almond extract.
  • Chocolate Drizzle Cookies: Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Cookies: Roll dough balls in cinnamon sugar before baking.
  • Lemon Zest Cookies: Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
