Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
2 3/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 sticks butter, softened (1 cup)
1/3 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
Directions
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl, set aside.
Beat sugar, butter, egg, sour cream and almond extract in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until well combined.
Add flour mixture; beat on low speed until combined. Divide dough into two portions. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill the fridge at least two hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 175 C. Line baking trays with parchment paper. Roll one dough portion onto floured surface to a 1/4 inch thick.
Cut out desired shapes with cookies cutters; transfer cutouts to prepared baking sheets. Lay cookies on sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are slightly golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer to wire cooling racks.
When cookies are cool, decorate with Royal Icing.

I love the way you decorated the cookies. I make similar cookies for Christmas. Mostly a decorated Christmas tree. And it has been a struggle to paint with royal icing on royal icing using toothpicks! Definitely gonna use almond extract and food colouring with paintbrushes in the future. The cookies I make are spicy cookies, they don't really go stale, and its such a delight to eat painted Christmas tree cookies, even more so because its just beautiful cookies.

[@amal8511]

This is so good i have to do this Please we need the cookie recipe

[@kellycgb]

Very lovely cookies! Thank you for sharing! I would like to make them as a party favor, but would also like guests to enjoy them. Has anyone tasted them? Was a little concerned when she said they'd be stale. Perhaps if the cookies are made the same day as they are frosted (cooled down first, of course) and painted 24h later, on the day of the event? Do you think this will help reduce staleness? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

[@TheDevilDarling]

Beautiful cookies! Don't most extracts contain alcohol too, though? I know vanilla almost always does unless you specifically look for one thats glycerin based but i don't think that's the norm.

[@sodhiwurbv]

looks really pretty but doesn't the icing still have raw egg white in it? I'm worried it might not be safe

[@mushiArt]

You can make royal icing without meringue or egg whites. You use clear corn syrup. Several recipes online.

[@abim677]

you can also buy meringue powder, which works great as a substitute!

[@giuseppeandsimonamarzano1145]

Can you add an amazon link for you brushes? Thank you!!!

[@8schopra]

👌👌👍💚

[@emiliaw9249]

would regular food coloring works?

[@_kazu.ha__]

Your childhood is me now hahaha

[@noneya11]

Hello, do you leave them open to air for 24 hours? While the royal icing base sets up? Thank you

[@amekoepsell6870]

soo easy

[@artsydaisy]

Can you tell us what brushes you are using?

[@poophappened]

Technical question: do you dip your brush in the vodka as well (to clean it), or can it be plain water?

[@shelleysteffens9255]

Great video! I need to bring something to a potluck and these would be great; however, I can't find a link to the recipe anywhere (here or on your website). Did I just miss it? Also, where did you get your food coloring? Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Sorry about that, just added the link to the recipe now. www.shaydacampbellblog.com/2014/03/the-absolute-best-sugar-cookies-ever.html

Hi! I have access to 2 large food dehydrators- could I use those instead of waiting 24 hours to get started on the painting? Thank you

[@kathyschieb6686]

Did I miss the link for the cookie recipe?

[@yagmurdemir3134]

looks really beautiful.. want to make them but do they not taste like eggs?

[@samhugh4965]

No, the icing won’t taste like egg. It’s basically a royal icing. When I make icing, I always add vanilla extract or some other flavoring. I’m not sure whether she used raw egg white or not, but I would recommend only using pasteurized liquid egg whites from the grocery store, or even easier, use merengue powder.

[@UsernamedJory]

So much better than Martha !

[@ShaydaCampbell]

😂❤️

[@WhisperingFae]

Will coating the whole cookie with the icing prevent it from going stale?

[@serafina8690]

is it possible to use water instead of vodka?

[@sanynurwidayanti6392]

I love your video! Could you substitute vodka with water?

[@ShaydaCampbell]

It won't evaporate like the vodka does, but if you have vanilla extract that can work too. I talk about it more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ2Yl614l8mpeqc&lc=UgzC8LMgojmHePaKBLB4AaABAg

[@nolitajohnson5169]

Could you freeze the iced cookie and then paint on it to speed the process? I do this with buttercream icing.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

I haven't tried it, but I assume it would word alright. Let us know if you try it :)

[@StudioQuiii]

hallo,your cookies are inspiring me,but i have one question,do you have alternative ingridient for vodka?because i am not allowed consume this drink 😂
