Sour cream cookies? YES. DON’T HATE. Instead make them and come thank me when you taste the amazingness that comes out of these cookies. I even have two batches for you! This is my grandma’s recipe and she always makes them at Christmas. I would watch your first batch to decide on how well you want them baked. I prefer the soft cakey cookie, but other’s might want a more crunchy one. Enjoy!
