AWESOME SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES WITH HOMEMADE ICING



Awesome Sour Cream Sugar Cookies With Homemade Icing image

This recipe was passed down through the generations from my Great Grandmother. It has been a tradition in our family to make them every Christmas and it becomes an all-day event where we make cookies all morning and decorate them all afternoon. The recipe is pretty simple and the most time-consuming part of the process is decorating, especially when you're in my family and it becomes an artistic competition!

1 (16 ounce) bag powdered sugar (equivalent of 2 boxes)
1/2 cup butter (do not use margarine)
1 tablespoon almond extract
0.5 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
food coloring
candy sprinkles

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in bowl and set aside.
  • Cream butter sugar, egg and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes.
  • Add sour cream and beat well.
  • Add dry ingredient mix (flour, baking soda, and salt) and blend well.
  • Roll on floured board to desired thickness. (1/4 inch thick will create thick cookies that will stay moist for up to two weeks).
  • Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters.
  • Bake on greased cookie sheet at 325°F for 12 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before decorating.
  • Pour bag of confectioner sugar into bowl.

  • Slowly blend into the powered sugar a bit at a time until the icing is a good consistency for decorating. Will not take the entire mixture.
  • Pour icing into smaller bowls and use food coloring to make icing into different colors.
  • Decorate with icing as desired.
  • Use remaining butter, almond, evap.milk mixture to freshen up the icing as it hardens over time. Re-heat the mixture in the microwave before adding to the icing. Add to the icing a few drops at a time until the icing becomes spreadable again. You may have to add more food coloring to freshen up the color.
  • Use sprinkles, candy, and a lot of imagination to decorate cookies.
  • Lay decorated cookies on wax paper to dry, it will take icing about 2 hours to firm onto cookie but once dry you can store them in an airtight container.

SOUR CREAM CUPCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE ICING, PRETZELS AND POTATO CHIPS



Sour Cream Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing, Pretzels and Potato Chips image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 lemon, juiced
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
1/4 cup chopped pretzels
1/4 cup chopped potato chips
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Flaked sea salt

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar. Beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until they are light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Slowly add the vanilla, sour cream and milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour.
  • Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Divide the batter evenly among the lined cups, filling each about two-thirds of the way.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of a cake, about 20 minutes. Check about halfway through the baking process to make sure everything is going along great and also rotate the tin.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting and decorating.
  • For the icing: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a stand mixer on medium-high speed (or with a hand mixer) until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the icing between two bowls. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and set aside to slightly cool. Add the melted chocolate to one of the bowls of cream cheese icing and thoroughly mix to combine. Fill one pastry bag fitted with a star tip with the chocolate cream cheese icing, and another fitted with a star tip with the regular cream cheese icing.
  • To garnish: Fill a pastry bag with the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake and fill with the chocolate hazelnut spread. Pipe some of the regular cream cheese frosting onto half of the top of the cupcake, and some of the chocolate frosting on the other half so it's two-toned, like a black-and-white cookie. Garnish with hazelnuts, pretzels, potato chips and flaked sea salt.
