Time 40m

Yield 42-48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
8 ounces sour cream
2 cups flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (divided)
1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter at high speed for one minute. Add the brown sugar, baking soda and salt and continue to mix until they are well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Now beat in the melted chocolate, then the sour cream.
  • Begin to mix in the flour in thirds until well combined and the dough begins to stiffen. You may need to add the last bit by hand using a wooden spoon.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  • Place rounded teaspoons of dough on an untreated baking sheet about two inched apart . Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are firm.
  • Remove cookies to a cooling rack to cool. Once cool, spread a small amount of frosting on each cookie (frosting directions appear below). These will keep in a tightly covered container for three days. You can also freeze the cookies before frosting for up to one month.
  • To prepare the frosting, place the butter, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl and whip until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the cocoa and one cup of the powdered sugar. Add in the milk to soften the frosting a bit. Add in the remaining powdered sugar in parts, mixing well until incorporated. If it get too thick for spreading, then add a bit more milk.

SOUR CREAM DROPS



Sour Cream drops image

This was found in an old cookbook a few years ago. She used oleo, I changed it to butter flavored crisco and works just the same or even better :) These cookies could be frosted with an easy homemade frosting for more sweetness.

Provided by Connie Ladehoff

Categories     Cookies

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c butter flavored crisco
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c thick sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 3/4 c sifted flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together, crisco,sugar,and eggs. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Sift together and mix in flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • 2. Chill at least on hour .
  • 3. Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until lightly golden brown and very little finger print when pressed.
  • 4. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350*

Tips:

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before dropping the batter. This will help the sour cream drops cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. Drop the batter into the hot oil in batches, leaving enough space between each drop.
  • Cook the sour cream drops until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside. This may take a few minutes per batch.
  • Serve the sour cream drops hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, honey mustard, or marinara sauce.
  • For a sweeter version of sour cream drops, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
  • For a savory version of sour cream drops, you can add a teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder to the batter.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chopped green onions, diced bell peppers, or shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Sour cream drops are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a simple weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
