This is probably too late but I have a recipe for a sourcream drop cookie that is soft and somewhat similar to a sugar cookie. I've made these dozens of times and received wonderful reviews. I have a similar recipe for cut out cookies and the dough tastes almost exactly the same. If anyone is interested let me know and I will post it.
Sour Cream Drop Cookies
4 cups all purpouse flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream - room temp.
2/3 cup margarine - softened
2 tsp boiling water
1 tsp almond extract - or - sprinkle of nutmeg
In large mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder with wire whisk. Set aside. Mix sugar, eggs, margarine, water, almond extract and sour cream in large bowl. Gradually blend in four mixture. Drop onto greased cookie sheets (a medium size cookie scoop works well). To flatten dropped dough moisten fingers with water and press lightly. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or when one cookie begins to turn just a little bit golden brown at the edge. Remove to cooling rack.
Makes 4 1/2 dozen with medium size scoop
Buttercream Frosting
2/3 cup butter - softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
4 tbsb or more half and half
In large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well. Beat in vanilla and half and half. Add enough half and half for desired spreading consistency. Tint if desired.  |
