Steps:
- For the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the sugars, and continue beating until light, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients while mixing slowly to make a smooth dough. Divide dough in half and press each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Transfer 1 disk of dough to a floured work surface and roll about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into cookies with a pinched tuna can (see below). Transfer cookies with an offset spatula to a nonstick or silicon lined baking sheet.
- Cut out eyes and a mouth with a pastry tip, fat straw, or a knife. Press the lollipop sticks into the narrow end of each cookie, if using. Repeat with remaining dough. Press excess dough together, roll and cut into cookies. Refrigerate cookies for at least 30 minutes.
- Evenly space the racks in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the candies in a small plastic bag and hit with a rolling pin to break into little pieces.
- Bake the cookies just until they are set, about 20 minutes. Remove baking sheets from the oven and carefully sprinkle the broken candies into the eyes and mouth of the cookies. Continue to cook until the candy liquefies, about 3 minutes more. Cool cookies on pan for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool cookies on a rack.
- For the icing: Whisk the water, egg white powder and orange extract in a medium bowl until foamy but smooth. Gradually whisk in the confectioners' sugar to make a smooth icing. Spread a layer of icing over the entire surface of the cookies with the back of a teaspoon. Let rest until the icing sets, about 30 minutes. Serve or store in a covered container for up to 3 days.

GREAT GRANDMA'S SOUR CREAM DROP COOKIES
This recipe was on a card tucked into my mom's recipe box; it's pretty similar to a number of variations that seem to be from the 1930s. A note said "flavor with whatever you like" and of all the flavors I played around with, I thought lemon zest balanced the sweet dough the best. These bake up into tender little cakes that make a great base for whoopie pies. Once baked, they freeze well (thaw for an hour or so on the counter to eat), but start losing their tenderness after more than one day at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cookies will taste. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, and make sure your measuring cups and spoons are accurate.
- Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cookie. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough, dry cookies. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven is important for achieving the perfect cookie. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown.
Conclusion:
Sour cream spice cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cookies turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give sour cream spice cookies a try.
