For Coating

Sugar for coating the cookies

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 egg, 80 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended.

Next, add 150 grams of sour cream and 80 grams of melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Now, gradually sift in 400 grams of flour and 5 grams of baking powder. Stir the mixture until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 2

Shape the Cookies

Once your dough is ready, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it reaches a thickness of about 1 centimeter. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough.

For an extra sweet touch, coat each cookie circle in sugar, ensuring both sides are covered. After that, take each circle and gently shape them into bows as demonstrated in the video.

Step 3

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Once your oven is ready, place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the cookies for approximately 20 minutes, but keep in mind that baking times can vary depending on the size and thickness of your cookies. Keep an eye on them to ensure they turn a lovely golden color.

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool before serving. Enjoy your delicious sour cream cookies with a cup of tea!

Variations

For those with dietary restrictions or preferences, here are some **fantastic variations** to consider! 🌱 Gluten-Free: Simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring that your baking powder is also gluten-free. This way, everyone can indulge!
Vegan: To make these cookies vegan-friendly, replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flax meal + 2.5 tablespoons water, let it sit for a few minutes). Use plant-based butter and coconut or almond yogurt in place of sour cream. Now, everyone can enjoy these heavenly cookies! 😋

Faq

  • Why did my cookies spread too much?

    If your cookies spread too much during baking, it might be due to warm butter or too much moisture in the dough. Be sure to chill your dough before baking it and measure your ingredients accurately.

  • How do I know when my cookies are done baking?

    Cookies are usually done when the edges are slightly golden but the centers remain soft. They will continue to cook a little after you take them out!

  • Can I add chocolate chips to this recipe?

    Absolutely! You can fold in some chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for added flavor and texture. Just remember to adjust the sugar content slightly!

  • Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Yes, you can freeze the dough! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before baking.

  • What's the best way to store these cookies?

    To keep your cookies fresh, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay deliciously soft for about a week!

  • Can I make them ahead of time for an event?

    Definitely! These cookies actually taste better after a day or two, so feel free to bake them in advance.
