Sour Cream Cookies
These sour cream cookies are a festive St. Patrick’s Day dessert you won’t want to miss making this year!
Ingredients:
- 1⁄2 cup (110g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3⁄4 cup (158g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1⁄3 cup (80g) Belfonte sour cream, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups (280g) all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- batch or can of frosting, dyed green
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the cookies come off of the pan cleanly after baking.
-
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream room temperature butter and granulated sugar together until light and creamy. This should be about 2-3 minutes of mixing.
-
Add the egg and egg yolk to the batter, mixing until fully combined.
-
Add room temperature Belfonte sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the dough, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure the mixture is fully incorporated.
-
Slowly, add the all purpose flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth. Do not overmix.
-
Form dough balls into 2-tablespoon balls. Place balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
-
Bake the cookies for 7-10 minutes until the centers of the cookies are set and cracked. Tops will not be golden or colored in the slightest. The middle should feel firm when touched- not wet or dense.
-
Let the cookies sit for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or plate to continue cooling.
-
Once cooled, decorate the cookies with frosting and sprinkles as desired.
