SOFT SOUR CREAM SUGAR COOKIES
Alright, so I know I just posted a cookie recipe, but in honor of the holiday I felt this would be a great addition, albeit the colors are all wrong for Valentines Day (I’ll admit, it was snowing the day I made these), but that’s an easy fix! Now, I must say, I was a little worried about trying a cookie that called for sour cream in the recipe (my sister would think I was absolutely crazy since neither of us have EVER been a sour cream fan), but I was pleasantly surprised with these.
Those of you familiar with adding this ingredient to your baked goods surely know that it adds moisture but not necessarily taste, (and by that I mean that you can’t taste the sour cream, thank goodness!). The first thing my husband said after taking a bite of these cookies was, “Wow, these are soft!” My thoughts exactly!
This recipe was given to my mother-in-law by a good friend. These are the recipes that I love, the tried and true recipes that have been around for years because they work! I love running across these, and am so excited when someone offers to share one that has been in the family for nearly-ever. So thank you friend for sharing!
Do you have a favorite family recipe that has been around for years?
