- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream until fully blended.
- If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and mini chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For best results, accurately measure your flour and ensure your butter is at room temperature. For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
