- Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them on the baking sheets, spacing them apart.
- Press each cookie down with a sugar-dipped glass to flatten them to about ¼-inch thick.

- Let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- For the frosting, mix together the butter, sour cream, and vanilla until creamy, then add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and cream, mixing until fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cookies and add chocolate sprinkles if desired.
