When I reflect on my childhood with my Father in the kitchen I think of three things; chocolate chip pancakes, no bake cookies and these sour cream softies. There’s nothing quite like the comforting taste of a childhood treat.

These cookies are so incredibly airy and soft on the inside even though the batter is quite thick. And the cinnamon sugar topping is everything. #toppingfromheaven

These cookies are soft, chewy, and have just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy any sweet tooth.

What makes these cookies so special is the use of sour cream in the recipe. It gives them a unique tangy-ness that sets them apart from your average sugar cookie. The recipe is simple, using ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.

What makes this recipe even more special is that after I received my Grandmother’s box of recipes, the recipe card my father had created for these cookies was inside one of the boxes. Seeing his handwriting filled me with memories of him, and I was instantly transported back to that little girl in the kitchen waiting for him to say it’s cookie time. ♥
