I Always make sugar cookies round the holidays. They are a classic, and for a reason. They are simple, but always delicious.
This recipe is a little different than the traditional sugar cookie recipe. It has sour cream!
I don’t think I have ever made a sugar cookie with sour cream in it before. It makes the cookie very moist and creamy.
That creamy texture really goes great with the basic sugar cookie. They don’t really even need icing.
And I did not ice these cookies. I used colored sugar over the top. So they looked very festive.
I really enjoyed these cookies. I might have to make this my go to recipe from now on.
