Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute with coconut or almond milk for Halal-friendly options.
Topping Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Gradually add in the sour cream, mixing until smooth.
  7. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain.
Assembly
  1. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional chopped nuts for the topping.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the topping mixture generously over each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, chill your cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. Avoid overmixing to maintain texture. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to three months.
