For 20 portions

Ingredients

1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
80 g granulated sugar
100 g sour cream
100 g softened butter
330 g all-purpose wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
100 g dried cranberries or raisins

Preparation procedure

Preparing the base Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
Adding the wet ingredients Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat well. Then stir in the sour cream, which will create a smooth, creamy base.
Dry ingredients In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet and mix only until everything is combined. Do not overmix.
Adding the cranberries Stir in the dried cranberries or raisins and evenly incorporate them into the dough.
Shaping and baking Using a spoon, form small mounds of dough on the baking sheet, leaving small gaps between the pieces. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft.
Cooling Transfer the finished cookies to a rack and let them cool completely.
