These easy old-fashioned sour cream cookies are soft, buttery treats with a light cinnamon sugar topping. The little bit of sour cream makes these cookies quite literally melt in your mouth. You are going to love these cookies. Let me warn you, you may find it very difficult to stop eating them. They are so delicious, buttery, and soft like my blueberry cookies, gooey butter cookies, and snowball cookies.
