Sour Cream Cookies
cookies
Sour Cream Cookies are light, and fluffy cookies with a cake-like texture with just the right amount of sweetness from brown sugar and vanilla. Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to customize!
Ingredients
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips can also substitute raisins, chopped dates dried fruit or nuts.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a sheet of parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together for about two minutes until well blended. It will still be quite granular as opposed to smooth and creamy like most batters - this is due to the ratio of sugar to butter. Don't panic, you're good!
- Add eggs individually, mixing well after each. Mix in vanilla. Add the sour cream and milk and mix well.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will be very sticky and doesn't resemble a typical cookie batter, so I suggest using a medium (tablespoon size) cookie scoop to place dough at least an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Cookies will barely spread.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
Notes
I've made these with mini chocolate chips as well, but definitely prefer the regular size. Also, I LOVE storing them in the refrigerator and eating them cold, there's just something about the taste and the texture of the chocolate when you bite into this cold cookie.
