It's weird how that since I joined this wonderful group, I take a photo of nearly everything I make...in case I get it posted on here :o) This is a fun cookie...I found this recipe yesterday on a site, and for the life of me, can't remember which site. So set out to make it today and it's rather yummy! I hope you like it and enjoy it...I did change up a few things. Marked as medium hard, just because it's a little putsy.

How To Make cinnamon bun cookies

Step 1

In large bowl cream together butter, shortening and sugars until smooth. Beat eggs in one at a time, add vanilla, sour cream and combine.
