Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 115kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter Unsalted, Room temperature
- ⅔ cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs yolks From large eggs, Room temperature
- 2 tablespoon Sour cream Room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- ½ cup Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add egg yolks, one at a time, while continuing to mix.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add flour and salt and mix until you end up with a weird lumpy mixture. Now, just use your hands to knead this mixture into sugar cookie dough. If the dough is too crumbly and not coming together, mix in a little bit of water.
- Roll this dough between two sheets of wax paper. Then, remove the top sheet of wax paper and spread the sprinkles all over the flattened cookie dough. Place the sheet of wax paper on top again and roll it one last time so as to push the sprinkles into the dough.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes. Your cookies are ready when they are light golden brown and firm along the edges but the center is still slightly soft.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to allow ingredients to mix together well with each other.
- If you are planning on icing these cookies, let them cool to room temperature first.
- Line your pans with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking to pan.
- Use unsalted butter to avoid super salty cookies.
- Don't over bake because that will dry out the cookies and make them hard.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a cookie jar at room temperature for up to 1 week.
