A sugar cookie may not sound like much, but these treats are different. They are rolled in crunchy rainbow sanding sugar, get their distinctivetangy flavorfrom sour cream and have a lot of vanilla extract—all necessary components for the ultimatenostalgicflavor, according to their maker and author ofBaking by Feel,Becca Rea-Tucker.
“These cookies taste very much like the sugar cookies you used to buy from those cookie stores at the mall, in the best way,” she explains. “They are a perfect antidote to homesickness, because they taste exactly the same everywhere.”
One bite, and you’ll feel transported to home—or at least the mall with the Claire’s where you got your ears pierced when you were eight. Nostalgia is sweet, isn’t it?

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sour cream and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the dough comes together.
