Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies

By srumbel

While they aren’t the most pretty cookie to look at or full of all kinds of flavors, these cookies are addicting. The texture is more cake-like then chewy. I’m all about chewy cookies, but there is something about the hint of nutmeg and the richness of the sour cream in these soft cookies that makes it hard to eat just one!

Ingredients

• 1/2 C butter, softened
• 1 C sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 C light sour cream
• 2 2/3 C all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• additional sugar for sprinkling

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425. Line cookie sheets with a baking mat or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla until creamy. Stir in sour cream until well-combined.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. You may need to finish stirring with a wooden spoon.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters and place onto prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops with sugar.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just starting to turn light golden brown.
Remove to a wire rack to cool.
