Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream crisco, sugar, eggs, and sour cream until smooth.
- Stir in flour, soda, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 7-10 minutes until still soft to touch when done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of Crisco. You can also replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrients. Ensure your sour cream is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother batter. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the sugar slightly or add chocolate chips. For a twist, try incorporating spices like cinnamon for a warm flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These Sour Cream Jumbles Cookies are delightful on their own, but they also pair well with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. For a fun dessert platter, serve them alongside Crispy Nutty Cookies or Rich And Easy Chocolate Cake. Consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delectable treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes until just soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for sour cream in this recipe. It will provide a similar tangy flavor and moisture. Just ensure the yogurt is plain and unflavored to maintain the cookie's taste profile.
Why are my cookies spreading too much?
If your cookies are spreading too much, it might be due to the dough being too warm or not enough flour. Make sure to chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. Additionally, check that you're measuring the flour correctly, as too little can lead to excessive spreading.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free. Look for a blend that contains xanthan gum, which helps mimic the structure of wheat flour. The texture may vary slightly, but they should still be delicious!
