To make these delicious cookies, you need: sugar, eggs, vanilla, Land O Lakes® Butter, and orange zest. You also need flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sour cream.
First, mix the Land O Lakes® Butter and sugar until they’re fluffy. Then mix in eggs, vanilla, and orange zest. The orange zest adds a fresh taste that’s just right with the sweet cookies.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients into the butter mixture with sour cream. This makes the dough perfect.
Chill the dough for at least 2 hours. You can even leave it overnight. Chilled dough is easier to shape and makes the cookies texture better.
Next, roll the dough ¼-inch thick on a floured surface. Use cookie cutters for shapes. Put them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake them for 8-11 minutes in a preheated oven. They should be slightly golden on the edges. This makes them soft inside but a bit crispy on the edges.
