Mom-Mom Bessie's Sour Cream Cookies

NeedTaste | January 10, 2022

One of the first things my husband raved about when I first met him (July 1977) was his grandmother's sour cream cookies. I had never heard of them and was anxious to try them. I had my first taste during Christmas of 1977. WOW Ron was right These cookies are like little hand-held coffee cakes and just melt in your mouth. The cookies are soft and moist with the texture of a delicate white cake and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar (or Christmas red and green during the holidays). I don't know where she got the recipe, but it is an all-time family favorite . These easy Christmas cookies are so soft and fluffy they will amaze you. Usually, cookies deflate a little after they cool... but not these little cookies. They fluff up and hold their shape. The cookie is lightly sweet so topping them with sugar sprinkles, cinnamon sugar or light icing is perfect. You need to try these unique treats.
