These sour cream sugar cookies are an old-fashioned favorite! Pillowy soft and topped with a simple frosting, add your favorite festive sprinkles make these delicious cookies fit for any occasion.
During Elle’s first Christmas season, I felt a real sense of urgency when it came to our new family’s Christmas traditions.
I’ve had family recipes that have been a part of our traditions for decades (hello, pumpkin roll and Nana’s easy cheesecake!), and I wanted to include Eric’s family traditions and recipes, too.
Eric and I found this recipe for his grandmother’s sour cream sugar cookies while thumbing through a lovely recipe book his aunt put together of all their family recipes.
His grandma wrote on the recipe card, “This is the one! Soft, beautiful dough – tastes good, too!!” She even added a cute little smiley face.
That review obviously sold me – these had to be part of our family’s Christmas traditions.
Now, years later, our family has grown and many things have changed, but some things stay the same: these soft sour cream sugar cookies are still a beloved part of Eric’s grandmother’s legacy and are a recipe I hope to pass on to our girls someday.
