Sour Cream Sugar Cookies I

I had some extra sour cream to use up so I searched for a recipe. Sorry, but this one is awful. The cookies taste like cardboard. No amount of buttercream will make them tasty. I was embarrassed to bring them to an event I baked them for.

I have been using this recipe for quite a few years. I always get compliments on how good the cookie taste. Dough is very easy to roll out. I use the cream cheese frosting which goes so nice with the cookie.

This recipe came out perfectly, tasty and soft. The dough wasn’t that sticky even before refrigerating. I wasn’t planning on frosting them so I added some cinnamon and doubled the vanilla for more flavor. I used real butter which makes everything better. 10 minutes was perfect for my 32 large cookies.

Great recipe!

I liked the recipe just the way it is. Thank you!

While these cookies looked great, they were VERY bland and had no taste whatsoever. The only thing that made them eatable was the frosting, and it was too sweet until I added a bit of lemon.

Love them…..I had this recipe and lost it…..so glad to have found it here…thank you…

We just made this recipe so we could leave some cookies for Santa. It’s wonderful! It’s exactly what we were looking for. They are soft, tender, cakey, and delicious. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Great sugar cookie recipe. A keeper for sure!

My daughter and I made these and she loved them because she’s 3 and loves sugar lol I thought the frosting had too much sugar in it. If I made these again I’d add less powdered sugar. I know they are supposed to be sweet but this is just my opinion. The cookie was great though. Nice and fluffy and a bit chewy. I didn’t change anything, I made it exactly as the recipe says this time.

These turned out great and were requested again. So, we made them again and they turned out great with no leftovers! The cookies are soft and hold their shape well. The cream cheese frosting is a perfect complement to the cookie.

They were really good but the frosting was to sweet for me.

I will definitely be making these again. They were excellent.

The best sugar cookie recipe I’ve ever tried. I’ve tried others using sour cream, wanting a light, fluffy cookie, but this is hands down, the best.

I LOVE THESE COOKIES! We make them every year! They are fun to bake and even better to make with family and friends. These are a must make!

These, honestly were not that great. They puffed up too much and we’re not initially very tasty. Once you finished one, you kind of developed a taste for them. The frosting was the biggest disappointment though. It was like wet icing that you put on canned cinnamon rolls, and it never really hardened, making it very difficult to pack in cookie tins without it all smearing. The picture is very misleading. I will look for another recipe next time.

I add a tablespoon of vanilla in the cookie dough instead of the teaspoon. It tastes so good this way.

I used a recipe like this years ago and lost it! I was so excited to come across this recipe. They have turned out exactly like the ones I remember. If only you could hear the sounds coming from my 6 year old daughter as she is in heaven licking the bowl!!!

I halved the recipe which yielded 34 cookies. I used 1 tbsp vanilla, reduced baking powder and soda to 1/4 tsp each, used my #50 scoop to make balls, rolled the balls in red, green and white coarse sugar, baked in 12 minutes, very tasty sugar cookies, nice and soft.

These are not that good. No flavor. You have to put frosting in them otherwise they taste like dough.

I started baking when I was 8. I am now 58 with 10 grandchildren and always bring the “goodies” for Christmas dinner. I love to bake and cook, did it for a living at several times in life. Getting depressed I would bake. My grandmother was my inspiration. She was the head cook at an Air Force Base where they tried to get the President of the U.S. to allow her to work when she was forced to retire. We are talking great cook unparalleled by anyone. We could never find a roll out sugar cookie that just said “YES!”. Found these doing a search as I had received more sour cream than I had ordered from a warehouse store where my husband picked it up. So, in a week’s time, I have now made this three times. EVERYONE who has tried them can’t stop eating them. AND I NEED SOME FOR CHRISTMAS. If the dough is sticky, either it was under chilled (I only had to wait an hour) or a little more flour, go slow, should have been added. I personally didn’t have any problems. They rolled out well, rose great while cooking, and taste fantastic. If they are like “sugary biscuits” they are too thick and have too much sugar as these have just the right amount of sweet, not so much you get sick. This is the recipe I have spent years looking for. They are soft, full of flavor and even the ones I rolled too thin tasted great! I use my own cream cheese frosting I created so I can’t comment on that but the sugar cookie is the best ever! Thank you for posting it.
