Sour Cream Cookies -


	Cinnamon Sour Cream Cookies "An Italian Cookie Recipe with a twist" These cinnamon sour cream cookies are one of those Italian cookie recipes with a twist. The added sour cream and cinnamon make this a melt-in-your-mouth-sugar-cookie. I personally could use a little more of a sour cream flavor. But being a purist to the cookbook I found these in, I posted this Italian cookie recipe exactly as they wrote it. Have you ever had a cook book that just seems to do no wrong? I do! I've had this cookie cook book for about twenty years - and I haven't found a recipe in it I hate. Who would have thought?! It just kinda flew off the shelf into my grocery basket on one of my regular shopping trips at WalMart. Now it's a favorite! This sour cream cookie probably has a few things that can be substituted if you are adverse to the ingredients. Just stick with the ratios in the recipe because the texture turns out supreme. See substitutions and FAQs below. Cinnamon Sour Cream Cookies YIELD: 2 Dozen Ingredients 1/2 cup butter at room temperature 1/2 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons sour cream 1 large egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups of flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Procedure * Preheat oven to 350 degrees * Cream butter, sugar, and sour cream in large bowl. * Beat in egg yolk and then vanilla. * Add remaining ingredients just until combined. * Roll dough until 1/4 inch thick. I sandwich between two pieces of wax paper! If needed, chill dough while you clean up. Sometimes chilled dough is easier to work with. * Cut into desired shape with cookie cutters. * Place 1 inch apart on UNGREASED cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops with sugar if you wish. * Bake for 8-10 minutes. JUST UNTIL set and edges are lightly golden. Recipe found in All The Best Cookies by Joie Warner Can shortening in place of the butter? Nope! The butter sour cream combo really flavors the cookie. Even a butter shortening can't capture this. Can I add nuts? You can, but again - this is about the cinnamon sour cream flavor. Nuts may become too dominant if you add them. What happens if I leave out the cinnamon? Nothing. They just taste incredibly boring and would be a basic sour cream cookie.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
