Sour Cream Cookies!

I have been making these sour cream cookies for years.

I have been eating them even longer;)

That’s because my mom was making this exact recipe for me and my sister when we were kids!

They are amazing!!

They have an amazing flavor! Sour cream does something magical to baked goods!

Every time i find a baking recipe that has sour cream in it, I set it aside to make! Or I pin it to my pinterest dessert board:)

Also, the cookies are not overly sweet. Sometimes when you eat cookies you get too much sweet. The sweet of the cookie combined with the sweetness of the icing is just too much!

But not these cookies!

These cookies, combined with my cookie icing recipe, are the best sour cream cookies ever!

How To Make Sour Cream Cookies

First mix all ingredients together as directed in the recipe below.

Then you will have to chill your dough for at least an hour.

I usually try to make my dough the day before I want to actually make the cookies. It saves time to have it ready to go when I’m ready to bake!

 

Once your dough is sufficiently chilled, you are going to scoop out about a third or fourth of the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about an 1/8 of an inch thick.

 

Next comes the fun part!

Cut out your cookies in whatever shape you would like!

I love collecting cookie cutters!

The kids get really excited about the shapes that we use to make our cookies with:)

 

Next bake your cookies, put them on a rack to cool, and then ice them with my yummy sour cream cookie icing recipe!

Mm mm!

I can’t wait for you to try these cookies!

I know that you and your family will love them!

Be sure to come back and leave me a comment after you try them! I can’t wait to hear from you:)

Happy baking!
