The crowning achievement of a Christmas Eve day spent elbow-deep in butter, sugar, and red sprinkles... 10 dozen perfect little sour cream drop cookies topped with clouds of rich, sweet buttercream. These are hands-down my favorite kind of cookie.
PERFECT SOUR CREAM COOKIES:
1 stick of butter (softened)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup sour cream
Cream butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla together; beat until fluffy. Mix dry ingredients together and add a little at a time, alternating with the sour cream. Mix thoroughly. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 11 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before frosting.
BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
3 sticks of butter (softened)
5 cups powdered sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla
Cream butter on med-high speed until light & creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. After every 2 additions, beat on high for 10 seconds before adding more sugar. Add vanilla and beat until smooth.
One batch of dough makes about 5 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
yum-o!
