Christmas Cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking soda.

Alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture, stirring gently between additions until just combined.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
