Preparation
Step 1
Use high-quality all-purpose flour. Choose a large, grade A egg. Melt and cool the butter in advance. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix sour cream and baking powder. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes. You can use any fat percentage sour cream (e.g., 15%). If you prefer, substitute baking powder with baking soda, since sour cream is acidic.
Step 3
Add the egg, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour in the melted butter and mix.
Step 5
Gradually add sifted flour, mixing with a spoon until the dough forms.
Step 6
The dough should be thick and not runny. If it's too soft, add a bit more flour.
Step 7
Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a large “closed star” nozzle.
Step 8
Pipe 2–2.5 inch (5–6 cm) long cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes. Baking time depends on your oven and preference. Don’t let them burn underneath.
Step 9
Let the soft homemade sour cream cookies cool slightly, place on a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy!
