Delicious sour cream cookies
These cookies are a great option for freezing. They hold up well because of the amount of fat in the cookie which is released by the butter and sour cream. This allows them to hold their shape almost perfectly. Try this holiday baking recipe as an alternative to traditional sugar cookies. You can cut out stars Christmas trees Christmas sweaters or simple circles then decorate them as desired with a flood of icing or colorful fluffy icing and fun holiday sprinkles.
A big tip for success with this recipe is to chill it for the full recommended two hours. While you may be tempted to cut corners to save time this will result in a mess. The fat in this dough needs time to firm up again after mixing and the only way to do that is to chill it.
Also remember that simplicity is best when choosing a cookie cutter! While you may be tempted to choose the one with lots of small edges or a more intricate design for best results avoid these for best results. These cookies will rise in the oven and you will lose some definition. Remember to keep these cookies soft and be careful not to over mix them!
