1 large egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Optional: Nutmeg or lemon zest for additional flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a festive touch, sprinkle the cookies with colored sugar before baking, or frost them when cooled.
The dough can be quite sticky; chilling it for an hour before baking makes it easier to handle.
