Sour Cream Cookies

Ingredients

Directions

1. To Prepare the Cookie Batter:.

3. In another mixing bowl cream the softened butter, the 2/3 cup of sugar and egg with your electric mixer until well blended and fluffy. Here’s a hint of how to soften butter if you forget to take it out of the refrigerator to soften it. Put it in the microwave for about four seconds and it will soften up without melting everywhere.
4. Next, mix in some of the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream and vanilla in that mixing bowl with the creamed ingredients slowly until everything is incorporated.
5. Grease your cookie sheets and then drop the batter by level teaspoons or use a small melon scoop on the sheet. Make sure that you give these cookies space to grow. Try to space them about two inches apart.
6. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping to each cookie and then take to a 350-degree oven and bake about eight to 10 minutes, depending on how your oven is regulated. The bottoms will be slightly brown.
7. Once you remove them from the oven, give your cookies about a minute or two to set before removing them from the tray.
8. To Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:.
9. Place the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon is a small bowl with one tablespoon of sugar. Before you bake, top each cookie with a bit of the topping.
