Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use full-fat sour cream. Low-fat or non-fat sour cream will result in a less flavorful cookie.
  • Make sure the butter and sour cream are cold before starting to mix the dough. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Do not 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 on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

Sour cream sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and simple ingredients, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
