Hey! Its Meghan from Cupcakes with Sprinkles! I hope your holidays were as good as ours. Lots of food, family, and games. My husband had the last 2 weeks off of school so we got to have fun as a family. But I’m ready to be back to our routine and back to trying new recipes!
I haven’t made cookies in a while so I went on a search and found this recipe. These are no ordinary sugar cookies. They are more rich because of the brown sugar, but they are as soft as pillows. They melt in your mouth. They are topped with a delicious sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting. Let make them!
These are the things we need…
We are going to cream together the butter and brown sugar…
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing in between each addition…
Add the vanilla and mix…
In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients…
Add the dry ingredients alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined and
place on the cookie sheet with a small cookie scoop…
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
