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 love baking with sour cream, seems to make everything better! Way to go on the "use it up" before it's lost theory. I do the same.
I have not used sour cream to make chocolate chip cookies before. Yours look great with a nice and smooth texture.
