I love this recipe! I use 4 cups of flour instead of 5 to give them a bit more of a chewy texture. Sometimes I add 1/4 cup of lemon juice to give them a kick! Read More

I was trying to find a sour cream cookie recipe like my mom used to make. This seemed pretty close so I tried it. I did not care for this recipe at all. The nutmeg is overpowering and the cookie has a strange consistency. We made these on Christmas Eve last year and my 4 year old was afraid Santa wouldn't leave her any toys because the cookies were "so yucky". My mom has since found her old recipe and sent it to me. No more yucky cookies for Santa this year. Read More

This is VERY (granny's calls for 4 1/2 cups of flour)similar to the recipe my grandmother has made for decades. The nutmeg is the best part of these tasty cookies. It isn't Christmas without them. Read More

I used butter instead of margarine and they came out with a nice soft texture with a great buttery flavor. I ended up putting the dough in the fridge and not baking them until two days later and they still turned out really well. I used fresh grated nutmeg too. We really love these cookies--the sour cream really makes them soft and the nutmeg gives these a really nice subtle flavor. I'll make these from now on--they also kept their shape really well.

I used this recipe to bake cookies for some friends and they were a huge hit! The cookies kept a great shape after baking and they stayed soft for several days (until they were all eaten;). The nutmeg in the recipe is also a nice touch. Read More

I hadn't had nutmeg in sugar cookies before and I didn't particularly like it. I wouldn't try making the cookies without it though because they would probably be really bland like so many sour cream sugar cookie recipes are. The good thing is that they bake up very well. The cookies really hold their shape instead of spreading and getting too poofy. They're also a nice soft cookie. But I'll stick with my normal sugar cookie recipe because I just didn't like the flavor of these that much. If you grew up on sugar cookies flavored with nutmeg you might like them more than I did.
