Russian Sour Cream Cookies are soft, melt-in-your-mouth treats made with sour cream and butter, offering the perfect balance of sweetness and tenderness. These cookies are easy to make, with just the right touch of flavor, making them ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

3 cups all-purpose flour

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently mix in the sour cream until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  8. Lightly sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar (optional) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Add-ins: Feel free to stir in chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for a different texture and flavor.

Citrus twist: Add lemon or orange zest for a fresh citrus flavor.

Icing option: For a sweeter finish, drizzle a simple glaze instead of powdered sugar.

Spiced variation: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can give the cookies a warm, spiced flavor.
