Sour Cream Cookies
Report
My old fashioned sour cream cookies have a soft, cakey texture and a sweet and simple frosting. No chilling required! Recipe includes a how-to video!

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 large egg room temperature preferred
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon zest optional
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Frosting
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Food Coloring optional
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract and beat together until creamy and well combined. If using lemon zest, stir this in here as well.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring together until completely combined.
- Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon sized scoop and drop onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” (5cm) apart. Transfer to center rack of preheated 350F (175C) oven and bake for 10-11 minutes.
- Within a minute of the cookies coming out of the oven, very lightly flatten the tops with the bottom of a clean glass or measuring cup (optional, but allows for a flat surface for icing). Allow to cool completely on the cookie sheet before frosting.
Frosting
- Combine butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer on low-speed to beat together until smooth and creamy.
- Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt and beat together to completely combine. If using food coloring, add a few drops and stir to evenly color the frosting.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, spread frosting evenly over cookies (I use 2-3 teaspoons of frosting per cookie).

Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Cookies may be frozen for several months.
- For the cookies in the photos I colored the frosting pink by stirring in 1 Tablespoon of pulverized freeze-dried strawberries.
