Sour Cream Cut-Outs

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. (3-5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to roll, add additional cake flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. (10 minutes)
