Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sour cream, and salt. The dough will feel soft and sticky, so chill the dough directly in the bowl until firm.
Roll the dough onto a well-floured surface, then cut into circles with a cookie cutter. Place the cutouts on a parchment-lined pan and bake at 350° for 8–9 minutes.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting by mixing 1 stick of unsalted butter with 3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp of milk.
