Sour Cream Softies

What do you do when you have so much sour cream, you don't know what to do? Make Sour Cream Softies, of course!

For some reason, I recall seeing a recipe in our collection for "Aunty Shannon's Sour Cream Softies". Now, for the life of me, I can't find it! If it even existed, after all.

I can't remember the last time I had one of these tender, sweet cookies, but they remind me of lazy afternoons underneath a patio canopy, with milky tea in delicate china cups, and sunshine. I can almost feel the warm summer breeze on my face.

Aaaahhh...
