Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • Food coloring gels (various colors)
  • Optional: sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Divide the dough evenly into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want to use.
  7. Add several drops of different food coloring gels to each bowl and gently fold until the dough is evenly colored.
  8. On a clean surface, combine small portions of each colored dough by gently pressing and twisting to create a marbled effect; avoid overmixing to keep the colors distinct.
  9. Roll the marbled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  10. Optionally, sprinkle cookies with decorative sprinkles.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  12. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, drizzle the cooled cookies with white chocolate or add edible glitter on top before serving.
