Old Fashoined Sour Cream Sugar Cookies with Candy Corn & Peanuts by Angela Roberts via Spinach Tiger

I’ve been asking for this sugar cookie recipe for years. It comes from my neighbor’s mother who visits here a few times a year with a car load of her legendary old fashioned sour cream sugar cookies, usually decorated with icing or white chocolate. We all wait for the cookies like little kids. As soon as she arrives, everyone rushes to the cookies.

They are just the right flavor, texture and softness, almost a cake like cookie, perfect for frosting. She has changed her version over the years and now uses white chocolate to hold the sprinkles. Either way, they are a childhood memory.

I happened to get the recipe right in time for Valentine’s Day and just to be a little corny and  little nutty, I put a spin on this old sour cream fashioned sugar cookie  and topped it with pink candy corn and peanuts.

It’s the perfect sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy bite. This version is super easy as there is no need for frosting. The candy corn brings the sweetness and is topped on the cookie before baking along with the peanuts and few sprinkles.
The taste is surprising. It’s not the normal sugar cookie which doesn’t usually have anything salty topping it.

I found the candy corn at Tuesday Morning and the sprinkled at the dollar section of Target. Super easy to decorate and the result is beautiful.

I wondered how they would go over . The cookie crowd around here loved them.

I got a little carried away with hearts this week. Stay tuned for heart shaped love biscuits with chocolate gravy, heart shaped dark chocolate sugar cookies with sea salt and heart shaped ice cream sandwiches.

    ALSO – I just nominated you here in all 3 categories: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/the-homies-2013-183537

    I hope you don’t mind! Well, maybe after seeing these cookies, the “healthy” catagory might not work, LOL. But generally Spinach Tiger is healthy, honest eats!
