Sour Cream Oatmeal Cookies
Spring is in the air and there is no better way to celebrate the new season than with cookies!!!
I am not a huge fan of oatmeal cookies. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat them. I will never turn down a cookie. I just don’t roll like that. So why did I pick a recipe with the title, Sour Cream Oatmeal cookies? Who knows, your guess is as good as mine. No rhyme or reason to my way of thinking. But I am glad I choose these cookies to make from Cookie Central.
This is the perfect cookie for you if you don’t like oatmeal cookies. I say this because my best friend Bobbi was at my house when I took them out of the oven. I told her to try them, she said, “No, I don’t like oatmeal cookies.” I gave her the look of death and she tried them. Well Mizz Bobbi, the oatmeal cookie hater ate TWO!
My husband said, “These are oatmeal cookies??”
I would say they are sophisticated. Not too sweet, no cinnamon or raisins, not chewy nor held together with sweet gooey-ness. I added the chocolate chips to the recipe. The chocolate worked amazing in the recipe. They are soft and delicate. I ate way too many..what else is new?
COME BACK TOMORROW FOR A GIVEAWAY!!!

Oh and I added the Chocolate chips on a whim. They just screamed “Add chocolate”!
Crisco makes all cookies taste better. A tried & true secret ingredient for sure.
Totally true Dawn!!
Glad to see them up here!! My favorite cookie by far is oatmeal chocolate chip, add sour cream and it sounds like heaven! I am having a baking linky party on my blog if you would like to come link them up!!
Oh and Megan made your deviled eggs for our 1 year blogging b-day party. I think 3 people at 3 different times asked, “Who made the eggs, they are awesome!!” 🙂
I am liking your site girl! Crisco, I think of my mom in her apron, busy as a Crisco bee can be!
I used Sour Cream in a few cakes lately and they turned out so moist!
There was a buy one get one deal on the 16oz tub of Breakstone’s at my Publix last week. I already had one new one in the fridge, but for some reason I couldn’t resist. This is the perfect justification!
Love the new site! Easy to read….let me know if you are loving the change. Although I don’t have too much trouble with blogger….and my computer guru moved! 🙁
Anyway…great cookie site and I would not have believed, looking at that photo, that these were oatmeal cookies! Got to try them!
All my best cookie recipes use crisco!
YUM! Chocolate and oatmeal in a cookie has to be good!

You know, I never thought of using crisco in my cookies before… and adding sour cream just sounds perfect. Will have to give it a try! And by the way, I’m not a fan of oatmeal raisin cookies either.
