Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 350° F.
2

In a mixer bowl cream together the sour cream, butter and sugar until well blended.
3

In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract, add slowly to mixer bowl beating in after each addition. The rule is if you see the egg in the bowl then you are adding too much at a time.
4

Sift together ALL dry ingredients. Add in 2-3 batches to mixer bowl.
5

Do not overmix batter as it will yield tough cookies.
6

Scoop out dough in walnut sized balls, roll in hands, place on cookie sheet and flatten the top slightly.They should be placed 1" apart.
7

Bake for 6-9 minutes depending on oven. These cookies should not become brown or golden. they should remain white. They will look undercooked. They're not. DO NOT overcook. Every minute baking counts for this recipe.
8

Remove from oven promptly. To stop them from over baking remove to a cooling rack. Allow to cool before frosting.
9

For the frosting mix everything in a mixer bowl until smooth and creamy. Add food coloring if desired.Sometimes frosting requires extra powdered sugat, if youd like a little thicker frosting add 1/2 C more of powdered sugar.
10

Once cooled frost your cookies and decorate with sprinkles. Let frosting crust before stacking/storing.

These taste better when left to sit over night! ENJOY! ^-^
