These festive sugar cookies are just a delight. They are
soft and cakey and delicious!
They are totally different than my old-time sugar cookie
recipe which was nice for a change of pace.
I found them easier to decorate too since they were just
round. But they are just as cute I think!
What you need,
½ cup butter
½ cup sour cream
1¼ + 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. almond extract
3 cup all purpose flour
¾ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
Pinch of salt
For the icing,
½ cup butter
½ tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. almond extract
2 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp. milk
Food coloring and Sprinkles!
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with
parchment or a Silpat mat and set aside.
In a large bowl beat together the butter, sour cream and
sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated. Add the
vanilla and almond extract and stir to combine.
Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until
fully mixed in.
Scoop the cookies by the heaping tablespoon and roll into
balls. Use the bottom of a flat glass dipped in flour to press the cookies flat
to about 1 inch thick.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until just set around the edges.
Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes then cool completely on a wire
rack.
Once the cookies are cooled you put the icing on them.
Beat the butter and vanilla and almond extract together. Mix
in the icing sugar. Add the milk a little at a time until you get a nice smooth
icing. Add food coloring to your preference and sprinkle with holiday fun!
