70+ years ago, and an old lady who knew how to cook on a woodstove and in a woodstove oven had a recipe that utilized soured milk/cream for a cookie about 4 inches in diameter and inch high in the center not too soft not too chewy-And as I age the memory of those cookies increases, but I’ve never seen a good recipe yet anybody got their great grandmas sour cream cookie recipe?
Hi there. If you go to google (or any search browser of your choosing) and type in “sour cream cookies” you will get many results. Hopefully one will be the recipe you remember.
That cookie might be, what we in the South call a tea cake. Sort of a sweet biscuit. My husband adores them. I will be glad to share my recipe if you would like to try it.
