Sour Cream Snickerdoodles

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl cream together 1 cup of sugar and the butter until well blended and lighter in color. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mid until well incorporated. Stir in the sour cream. The mixture may look slightly curdled.

3. In a small bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry mixture into the wet and stir until the mixture is smooth. The dough will be somewhat soft.

4. In a small bowl combine the remaining sugar with the cinnamon. Scoop out the cookies by the rounded tablespoon and roll in the cinnamon sugar. Arrange on the prepared pans leaving 2-inches of space between the cookies.

5. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are slightly cracked and the edges are golden. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
