Sour Cream Cookies Bites

Recipe

Ingredients needed

4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
8 ounces of Gay Lea Gold sour cream (1 cup)
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter (I used Gay Lea butter)
1 cup of powdered sugar

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, mix your dried ingredients. This would be the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

2. Whip in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and butter. Mix well until all of the ingredients are blended.

3. Place the mixture (covered) into the refrigerator for an hour. This will help the dough become firm and easy to handle.

4.  Remove and break apart the dough into small chunks. Drop the chunks into a mini cupcake pan so each cup is about ½ full.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

6. Remove and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

You can store the sour cream cookies in an air tight container for about 1 week. Serve warm or serve cooled. The choice is up to you! These make a great after dinner treat or are even ideal for breakfasts or brunch. Hope you like this old-fashioned sour cream cookies recipe.
