From other reviewers I expected these to be much more thick/cakelike so I decreased the amount of baking powder by almost half. According to gourmetsleuth.com: "Baking soda must come in contact with an acid in order to form carbon dioxide gas which in turns makes the baked product rise." Sour cream is one of those acids. Anyway these turned out fluffy and flavorful. I didn't want to ruin them with icing so we enjoyed them plain! Read More

the texture of these cookies turned out very cake-like which i find unappealing in a cookie. and they really only needed to be baked about 6 &1/2 minutes. Read More

There are at least 17 reviews on here and most of them reference that these are soft cake-like cookies. The TITLE of the cookie is "Soft... " So why ae people still complaining about soft cake-like cookjies in their reviews??? For goodness sake people what are the reviews for if not to warn you away from things you're probably not going to like? (Of course there's other reasons to read the reviews too.) Anyway I thought these were really good - soft as I expected and wanted. Not bursting with lots of flavor but I know that too from the reviews - and that's what I was looking for. Good cookies that were perfect with the spicy peaches that went with them! Read More

This is the best sugar cookie recipe ever. My children and I made a batch of these wonderfully thick and soft cookies and they lasted less than a day. It's fantastic by my family.:):) Read More

I think they are great! They are cake-like and very thick and soft. Also good if you add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Read More

These are as others reviewed soft cake-like cookies. I found them to be very tasty. You have to expect them to be cake-like for the recipe calls for 3 eggs. If you don't want your cookie like cake decrease to 2 eggs instead of 3. Read More

Absolutely terrible -- completely cake-like. If you want a cake then make a cake not cookies. I threw these all out and started over with a different recipe. Read More
