GREAT GRANDMA'S SOUR CREAM DROP COOKIES



Great Grandma's Sour Cream Drop Cookies image

This recipe was on a card tucked into my mom's recipe box; it's pretty similar to a number of variations that seem to be from the 1930s. A note said "flavor with whatever you like" and of all the flavors I played around with, I thought lemon zest balanced the sweet dough the best. These bake up into tender little cakes that make a great base for whoopie pies. Once baked, they freeze well (thaw for an hour or so on the counter to eat), but start losing their tenderness after more than one day at room temperature.

Time 25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ⅓ cups white sugar
¼ cup shortening
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup full-fat sour cream
1 large lemon, zested
2 large eggs
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream sugar, shortening, and butter together in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Mix in sour cream and lemon zest on low speed until no streaks of sour cream remain. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium-low just until there are no streaks of yolk, and scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder all at once and mix just to combine.
  • Drop by heaping tablespoons on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are puffy and spring back when lightly touched with a finger, about 10 minutes. They should be light golden, with occasional spots of pale golden brown.

Provided by Tingrin3

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE TOPPING:
McCall's Cookie Collection, 1985. Makes about 4 dozen.
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or regular margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla (or 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Sift flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In large bowl of electric mixer, at medium speed, beat butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. At low speed, beat in sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in flour mixture until well combined. Refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Drop batter by slightly rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets. For the topping, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle a little on unbaked cookies. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden-brown. Remove to wire rack; cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before you begin. This will help the cookies cream together properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These McCall's Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will love. They're perfect for any occasion, from a simple snack to a special holiday gathering.
