I made these cookies for a get together last week with sour cream leftover from an earlier batch of cookies. They're a take on regular chocolate chip cookies with the addition of raisins and walnuts. I opted to leave out the raisins since the no one likes them but I would have liked to leave them in because I think the chewiness would have added another texture dimension that would have complemented the smooth chocolate and crunchy nuts.
These cookies are quite tasty and you get a really nice cookie dough that holds it shape in a scooper. I found that if you flatten them a bit before baking they are more circular but if you leave it as a mound, it stays that way. Either way is fine, it just depends on your preferences. The cookies brown nicely and are a little cakey but not dry. They were all gone by the end of the night so I guess everyone liked them as well. They really are a great Canadian cookie.

ReplyDeleteI've been having the same problem getting pictures uploaded all day today, so it is nice to know it isn't just me!
I love how the pale batter contrasts against the goodies inside.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a sugar cookie recipe that uses sour cream...I keep meaning to see how things would work if I used buttermilk instead..
