I'm always excited to find a new cookie recipe, especially on as simple as this. With ingredients that I normally have in my refrigerator and pantry, these cookies are easy to whip up in a pinch, and they taste good, too!
These cookies are like little pillows. Delicately light, fluffy, and a little tangy, they have a uniqueness all there own. The nutmeg adds a nice warmth, too, making it hard to eat just one.
Sour Cream Cookies
1/3 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or mace
Blend butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla thoroughly. Stir in flour, soda and spice. Drop by teaspoonfuls on a well greased sheet. Flatten balls by pressing with a wet knife. Bake on top shelf at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
