I've been looking for a sour cream cookie recipe. Just found this on a google search. If anyone has a better one, I would love to have it...I've always wanted to duplicate the cookies my grandmother made (hard to do without HER recipe).
I remember seeing a pint jar of yucky cream sitting in my Grandmother's refrigerator,,, I can also remember seeing her literally scrape the top off the yuck before she added it to her cookie recipe. (I am 56 yrs. old,, I would guess I was 5 or 6 when I witnessed this,,, I don't know how many years Grandma had been using this method, but she died at age 93,, when I was aged 33,,, so we know this method didn't kill her)
