Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies
December 17, 2012 by Aimee • 7 Comments
Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies is one of my favorite recipes each Christmas, compliments of a sweet friend from college who listened to me obsess over Stud when we first started dating and could always make me laugh until the point of tears!
These chewy, delicious cookies are totally cute cut into shapes and decorated with frosting! (My only advice beyond the recipe is…wrap a portion of the dough and keep it unbaked in the refrigerate to munch on later…I know eating raw cookie dough is bad, but it’s an addiction I’m not willing to stop.)
Here are the ingredients…
How to Decorate Snowman Cookies

- 1 cup sugar

These look amazingingly good!!!
Sugar cookies with sour cream are the best!
Your sugar cookie recipe sounds delicious. I am going to get the ingredients today so I can bake these with my kids. Thanks for sharing, Aimee. I’ll let you know how they turn out!
They look yummy!
I so enjoy your recipes and your blog. You are wonderful to take the time to share with others. Am wondering if anyone else has a problem printing your recipes…the type is so light that it is unreadable. It is not the ink in my printer because all other copies print dark and clear. I must copy and paste elsewhere to get a dark print.
Printing recipes…I haven’t heard about problems, but I’m going to try printing another recipe today and double check. I really appreciate you letting me know. XO, Aimee
