Dropped Sugar Cookies

Mom has lots of cookie recipes. I found this sugar cookie recipe and was intrigued by the fact that the cookies were not rolled and cut with a cookie cutter. Also, the use of sour cream seemed interesting. These cookies were delicious. The sour cream gave the cookies just a touch of tartness to balance out the sugar.

The dough is very sticky and thick. When dropping these cookies, I needed to use one spoon to scoop the dough and one spoon to push it off the spoon. The cookies did not spread too much and stays in the basic shape that they are dropped. I used regular sugar to sprinkle, but you could use brown sugar or a courser sugar for slightly different flavor.

Dropped Sugar Cookies

• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Sift flour, soda, and salt together. Beat the butter, sugar, and eggs with a mixer for three minutes. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture gradually beating after each addition to make soft dough. Drop by spoon two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 375 for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
