Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups white granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add 2 large eggs and 1 cup of sour cream, mixing on low speed until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick and cut into desired shapes.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
