Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter. This will give your cookies a richer flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your butter and sour cream are cold before you start baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
