Instructions

Prepare Your Workspace: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Together Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until they’re light and fluffy.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined into a smooth dough.
Shape and Bake: Drop tablespoons of dough onto your prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly for a more traditional cookie shape.
