Tips:

  • Use fresh sour cream. Fresh sour cream will give your cookies the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt, but the cookies may be a little less tangy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and just starting to brown in the center. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before serving so that they are easier to handle.
