I don't like nuts in my cookies as a rule so i substituted more candy chips...success! And the really fun part is that you can trade off on your chocolate to butterscotch to peanut butter to white chocolate, well you get the idea :) And I also traded regular sour cream for it's low fat sister. Let me know what your favorite cookie/candy piece combination turns out to be :)
Oh So Yummy Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup firmly-packed light brown sugar

6 ounces white chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs and beat until combined. Add sour cream and mix until blended.
4. With mixer running, slowly add dry ingredients, beating until thoroughly combined. Stir in chopped nuts and chocolate.
5. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees F, or until cookies turn pale golden around edges.
7. Remove baking sheet from oven.
8. Allow cookies to rest for 1-2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: approximately 40 cookies
Can't find a thing wrong with adding more chocolate chips. I do like nuts, though.
ReplyDeleteI like the taste of nuts in my cookies sure but they just aren't necessary most of the time! And like I said, if I can add more chocolate I'm gonna go with the chocolate every time!
