THICK SOUR CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix sugar and cornstarch together and add to egg yolk.
• Stir in sour cream and cook in double boiler until it coats the spoon.
• Add flavoring, stir well.
• Let cool to room temperature before assembling cake.

Steps:

• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the shortening and sugar together on medium-high speed until soft and fluffy.
• With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time.
• Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until creamy.
• Reduce to low speed and add the dry mixture 1/3 at a time until evenly mixed.
• Chill the dough in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
• Divide the dough into two halves.
• Roll the first half out on a floured surface until it's a little over 1/4" thick.
• Cut out cookies with a floured cookie cutter, and use a spatula to transfer them to the baking sheet.
• Repeat with the other half of the dough, then bake the cookies at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until just beginning to brown around the edges.
• Move cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Prepare the frosting, adding powdered sugar or a splash of milk as necessary to achieve thick, fluffy frosting.
• Spread the frosting generously over the cookies and top with sprinkles.
