Sour Cream Cookie recipe(s)

[smg01]

Pursuant to a conversation in an earlier entry, here are two Sour Cream Cookie recipes. I’m pretty sure that I usually use the second recipe, but I think either would be acceptable.

Version #1

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg, beaten
1 cup chopped nutmeats
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream sugar and shortening. Add egg and nuts. Mix dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture, alternately with cream. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.


Version #2


1-1/2 cups sugar
1 stick margarine
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3-1/2 cups flour

Chill dough. Bake at 400, 8-10 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen.

These recipes come from a church cookbook from my grandmother’s church. As is sometimes the case with community/church cookbooks, explicit instructions are sometimes in short supply--as in recipe number 2.

I believe what I do is cream the sugar and margarine. Add eggs. Then the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon juice. Then the dry ingredients. I don’t always chill the dough, but it does tend to be easier to work with when I do.
