Grandma Lee's Sour Cream Cookies image

Another recipe I found while looking through my grandmothers note book. These are cake like and not too sweet. I added cookie icing and sprinkles Because my family would prefer their cookies have "stuff in them or on them". Very good with a cup of coffee or tea.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c brown sugar
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c sour cream
1 medium egg
2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
COOKIE ICING
1/2 c melted butter
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tsp hot water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. set aside
  • 2. cream brown sugar and shortening, add sour cream and the egg and beat until well incorporated. add the flour mixture and beat until well blended
  • 3. drop by spoonfuls on to cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until light brown in color
  • 4. ....... The directions were not included in her recipe so I did it the way I normally would. also there was no measurement for the salt or vanilla so put in what my other cookie recipes called for. I do add more vanilla to anything I bake because I love it so I wrote 1 tsp but I used 3 tsp :-) I also gave the cookie sheets a very light spray of non stick spray.
  • 5. cookie icing: mix butter, powdered sugar and vanilla together add hot water a Tsp at a time until the right consistency. add a few drops of food coloring if desired. spread over cooled cookies. This icing hardens a little and adds a very light crunch,
