Sour Cream Cookies II image

These are delicious cookies that my mother made at Christmas, but are good anytime. Try making them using pecans, but any nuts will do. I like them with a cup of coffee. Top these cookies with icing.

I'm not usually a fan of sour cream cookies, but these were actually really good! They were soft and chewy, and the sour cream flavor was subtle but noticeable.

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and sour. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These sour cream cookies were a hit with my family! They were soft and chewy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the sour cream. I will definitely be making these again.
