Tips

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your Frosted Chocolate Sour Cream Drops, ensure that your butter and sour cream are at room temperature before mixing. This will allow the ingredients to blend smoothly and evenly, resulting in a velvety and creamy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough and dense cookies. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets. This will help to ensure that the cookies are all uniform in size and shape, and will also prevent the batter from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cookies.
