Cookie Instructions
To make these delicious cookies, start by whisking together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, and set it aside.
In the bowl of your mixer, cream your butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Mix in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Stir in the flour mixture just until combined.
Divide the dough into two equal proportions. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Dust your counter with flour and roll the dough to about ½ inch thick.
Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the cookies from the dough.
Transfer the cookies onto your prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 8-9 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
Frosting Instructions
To make the frosting, cream the butter in the bowl of your mixer until it’s light and fluffy. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until all is combined.
Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix over medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Divide the frosting into two bowls and color one of them green with the food coloring.
Place the frosting into piping bags with a large straight piping tip.
Pipe the frosting onto the cookies and use a knife to smooth the top of the frosting.
Top the cookies with any fun, festive sprinkles you desire! Enjoy!
