  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
  5. Mix dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, place on the baking sheet, flatten slightly, and bake for 9–11 minutes until set.
  7. Cool and serve: Let cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
