Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream, and beat until well combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar.
  5. Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.
  6. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 9–11 minutes.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies can be frosted or left plain.
  • For a bakery-style look, sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
