Sour Cream Drop Cookies
Ingredients
- 2.75 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts, or to taste
- 0.25 cup raisins, or to taste
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg into a bowl.
- Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in sour cream and lemon extract. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough is combined.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons about 3 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown around the edges, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over cookies; top with walnuts and raisins. Continue baking until bottoms begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
