Tips:

Use high-quality sour cream. Fresh, full-fat sour cream will give your cookies the best flavor and texture.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Any thicker and the cookies will be too soft, any thinner and they will be too dry.
Use a sharp cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. This will help prevent the edges from becoming ragged.
Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
