- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and continue beating until well incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. This will be your cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon in size, and flatten each ball gently into a disc.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the top of each cookie, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set for a few minutes.
