SOUR CREAM DROPS
MY MOTHER is an excellent baker, and this is her recipe. Whether Mom makes these cookies or I do, they always disappear quickly. Friends rave about them and often ask me to bring them to get-togethers. My young children enjoy all kinds of cookies, but these are their favorites. -Tracy Betzler, Reston, Virginia

SOUR CREAM CUT-OUT COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING
There are several sour cream cookies posted on Zaar, but none like my recipe. A friend gave this to me years ago. The cookies are tender and delicious. Especially with cream cheese icing.
