THE BEST FLUFFY SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract for 1 minute.
• Mix in sour cream, eggs, and baking soda and mix until combined.
• One cup at a time, slowly add in the flour and mix on low speed until flour is incorporated. Dough will be on the sticky side.
• Form dough into a large ball and place on flour-covered surface. Knead dough for 1 minute until it forms a smooth, solid ball and is no longer sticky to the touch. You will likely need to sprinkle about 1 tablespoon flour on top to help it not be sticky. If dough is still too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Using a rolling pin, roll dough between 3/8-1/2" inch thick. Using a 2.5 inch diameter circle cookie cutter, cut out circles and place on a parchment-covered cookie sheet. If dough is sticking to your cookie cutter, dip the cookie cutter in flour between each cut.* See notes below for alternative to rolling pin.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until the center no longer looks wet and doughy. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
• Buttercream Frosting: In a large bowl, whip butter on high speed for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. On low speed, begin adding in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until all is incorporated. Beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and creamy.Spread on top of cookies or place frosting in a large piping bag with a large round tip.
