Instructions

Cookie

  • In your stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) cream sugar and butter until fluffy.
  • Add each egg, one at a time, beating after each egg until well combined.
  • Add sour cream and vanilla and beat well.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in your mixer, and mix on LOW until combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • After chilling, scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball (dough will be sticky).
  • Place onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass cup and spray with cooking spray, then dip in flour and press cookie dough balls down.
  • Bake for 8-11 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.

Frosting:

  • Make frosting by first creaming together the butter until fluffy. Add vanilla and 4 cups of powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and more powdered sugar until it is the consistency you desire. Beat until smooth and add any food coloring, if desired.
  • Frost and add sprinkles right away.
