Preparation

Step 1

Mix together your wet ingredients (butter, sugar, egg, sour cream and vanilla) until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Drop rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Dip the bottom of a small glass into your bowl of cookie dough or smear a little dough on the glass. Dip the glass into cinnamon sugar.

With the glass coated in sugar, lightly tap down each ball of dough on the sheet leaving a dusting of cinnamon sugar on the cookie. Continue with remaining dough. I sometimes use a spoon and sprinkle just a little more cinnamon sugar on each one as well.

Bake for 10 minutes in a 400° oven.
