    Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Published: Feb 3, 2012 · Updated: Feb 25, 2020 by Kevin Williams | 16 Comments

    One of the final recipes the late Elizabeth Coblentz shared with her readers  in the summer of 2002 was a tasty sounded cookie:  sour cream chocolate chip cookies.  I am a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur...I've never met a chocolate chip cookie I didn't like.  Elizabeth shared this recipe and then passed away a few weeks later so I think with all that was going on I never got to try these, but I may have to soon.  If anyone tries it before I get a chance, let us know how they turn out!

      They should have a good texture. Acid (soured cream) and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) make a good, tender cookie.

      They sound yummy!! i'm going to try the recipe asap. I've tried many of Elizabeth's recipes over the years when she was alive. Her recipe for bread and butter pickles is one of my family and friends favorites. So thank you for carrying on her wonderful and special traditions.

      I made these this afternoon. I have been looking for a recipe for a soft chocolate chip cookie. These are softer than any other I have made. I raised the oven temperature to 375 degrees and baked them for 16 minutes. The batch made a little over 9 dozen cookies. I thought with 6 cups of flour it would be more than 3 dozen.

      I have been looking for a good chocolate chip recipe with sour cream, so I tried these. I did add a teaspoon plus of vanilla. They actually tasted better the next day! I can certainly see these served at a function as the recipe made lots of big lovely cookies! I am thinking about trying them with butter next time instead of oil

      Mine came out very very crunchy. I have been reading Beverly Lewis books and this is one recipe I have been dying to try. While they came out very very crunchy I think they are still good, probably better with a huge glass of milk. I only baked half the dough and put the other half in the fridge (It was really late when I started to make these) so I am going to make the other half today and maybe use less time. After I do that I will be adding it to my blog (of course with a link back to you). This was a great recipe to try and I can't wait to try more. I hope I can find some diabetic friendly ones (my husband is a diabetic).

        Stay tuned for The Amish Cook column on Monday, Belinda, I think the recipe with that column is a diabetic friendly dessert. Welcome to Amish365.com!

        I have finished my post and when I was writing it I realized I forgot to put in the salt. But they still turned out great. After being in the fridge overnight the dough was a lot easier to work with and I was able to make them into little balls. They were not very soft but they were not hard like they were before. I put some dough balls in the freezer to see if the dough freezes well.
