CINNAMON SOUR CREAM COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together and set aside.
• Beat the butter with the sugar until well blended and creamy. Beat in the egg.
• Mix the sour cream and baking soda together and add to the butter mixture. Add the dry ingredients and beat well to make a soft dough. It will be sticky, so cover and chill the dough for about 30 minutes until it is firm enough to handle. If the kitchen is hot you may need to chill the dough a little longer.
• Lightly grease baking sheets. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Take walnut-size pieces of the dough and roll into balls. Arrange on the baking sheets about two inches apart to allow for spreading. Flatten the balls with the tines of a fork. Bake 10 to 15 minutes until the cookies are golden brown but still slightly soft in the center. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the pans, then transfer them to racks to cool completely.
