Tangy Lemon Sour Cream Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-hot temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take two baking sheets and give them a light coating of cooking spray to prevent the cookies from sticking.
3
In a small container, mix together three ingredients that provide structure and flavor to your cookies: flour, baking soda, and salt.
4
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together two main ingredients on medium speed: butter and sugar. Continue beating until the mixture becomes smooth, airy, and light.
5
Add two additional ingredients to the mix: sour cream and lemon zest. Beat these in until well combined.
6
Gradually introduce a third set of ingredients to the mix: vanilla extract, lemon extract, and dry ingredients. Reduce the mixer speed to low and blend just until everything is combined.
7
Scoop out small portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
8
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies are firm to the touch and have a golden edge, taking anywhere from 10 to 12 minutes.
9
Allow the cookies to cool for just one minute before transferring them to a wire rack using a wide metal spatula.
