Time 45m

Yield 44 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease two cookie sheets or line them with Silpat.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla and egg.
  • Mix, scrape it down the sides of the bowl, and mix it again.
  • Add the sour cream and mix it until it is combined.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix it until it is combined.
  • Drop the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheets 3 inches apart (they do spread).
  • Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until they are light brown.
  • Cool them on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes, and remove them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter. This will help the cookies cream together smoothly and evenly.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from over-browning.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Chocolate chips, nuts, and dried fruit are all great additions to soft sugar cookies.

Conclusion:

Soft sugar cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make perfect soft sugar cookies every time.
