Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs, room temp
• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sour cream
• Chocolate icing:
• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 2 tbsp. light corn syrup
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Beat butter, baking powder, salt and vanilla until combined. Add sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour.

2. Drop by 3 tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. With wet fingers, flatten each into a 3-inch circle.

3. Bake 10 minutes or until edges start to brown. Cool on pan 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

4. In a saucepan, stir icing ingredients over low heat just until chocolate melts. Remove from heat; cool to room temp. Using a hand mixer, beat on high until mixture thickens and becomes lighter in color, 6-7 minutes.

5. Spread 2 tbsp. icing over flat side of each cookie; let stand until set.
