  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 50 minute

Ingredients

– 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 large egg
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)


Instructions

Creating Sour Cream Sugar Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting can be easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
7. Scoop the Dough: Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
11. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on each cookie.
