📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cookies:
2
preheat oven
3
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (this helps the cookies from spreading).
4
wet ingredients
5
Using a hand mixer, or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar for ⏱️ 2 minutes, until light and creamy. Add extracts, egg, egg yolk, and sour cream and beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. The mixture might look a little curdled, that’s ok.

6
dry ingredients
7
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined.
8
scoop dough
9
Allow the dough to sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls (briefly rolling them in your hands, if necessary, to make the dough balls smooth). Place the dough balls a couple inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
10
bake
11
Bake for ⏱️ 9-11 minutes (see note), until the edges are set and the center is still slightly underdone. The cookies should still be light in color, not brown. Place the baking sheets on wire racks to cool completely; the cookies will firm up once cool.
12
Frosting:
13
frosting
14
Using a hand mixer, or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and half of the powdered sugar until well-combined (starting out the mixer low and increasing to medium-high). Slowly add the remaining powdered sugar (while beating), followed by milk, extracts, food coloring, and pinch of salt.

Turn the mixer to medium-high and beat well. Depending on how thick you want the frosting, you can easily adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar (to thicken) or more milk (to thin).
