So everyone knows those wonderful, fluffy, addictive Christmas time (and pretty much anytime now) cookies that they have in the stores for about 3-4 bucks a dozen. My neighbor refers to them as “crack cookies”. I was looking for them online, to see if I couldn’t find a recipe for them. Apparently, they use a “sour cream cookie” base. I found this recipe at allrecipes.com
There were a few others, but money’s a touch tight right now so I figured I’d use this one first. Made the most sense, and I am trying to conserve resources. Instead of 1/4 cup of sour cream, I used 1/4 cup of fat-free yogurt. Probably should have used whole-fat yogurt, but since I am trying to stick to clean eating (aside from deserts, which will be consumed less frequently by me now), that’s what I had on hand.
The dough is currently chilling in the freezer. We have a bunch of holiday cookie cutters, so I’m really pumped about that.
This is the frosting I’ll be using:
It looks pretty close to the ones that they use in stores, albeit a little less perfect. I’ll post more when we get to rolling, cutting, and baking.
