Talk about fluffy cookies.
Looking in my fridge, I see two tubs of sour cream. TWO! One almost empty, and growing something green and smelly that I can pretty much assume is one of Shrek’s offspring. But the other one: barely used! Almost about to expire. Well call me waste-nothing queen, I’ve got to use this stuff! (although, of course, I wasted what was left of the first sour cream tub. Hey, I’m not perfect)
Whenever I have some kind of miscellaneous ingredient that I need to use, I make cookies. It’s always the excuse. “no, I’m not making cookies because I’m a sugar and dessert freak fanatic, it is because I need to use up *insert ingredient here*”
So if you’re trying to use up your sour cream too, try these Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Even if I don’t need to use up an ingredient..I’m thinking cookies will be on the menu anyways… Well I used some whole wheat flour, it should make up for all this cookie making (please humour me, I will love you forever if you do)
And if you are looking for another recipe to use up your sour cream, try my Layered Apple Coffee Cake.

I like using sour cream in baking – it works well in place of buttermilk. These cookies look yummy – chocolate chip is always a winner!
If I buy sour cream (that doesn't happen very often) I never finish it completely 🙂 good way to use it instead of letting it grow those greenish..things :)))
What a sweet blog. It looks like you love to bake. I bet I could "veganize" many of these recipes. Thanks for stopping by my blog. 🙂

I can see that I will be gaining back the 8 pounds I just lost if I keep coming here. One of my favorite things is when sour cream gets put into baked goods. I just find that hard to resist. And here, into Choco cookies…the other thing I find hard to resist. This has been saved…
