In reply to Kris Kouba. This makes my heart so happy, Kris! We use my grandma's cookies cutters for our cookies, too. I'm so glad this dough has become a staple for you!

In my little family we have lots of traditions, like Monster cookies for Halloween, listen to the nativity story while putting up our tree, decorated cookies and chocolate gingerbread men at Christmas time and chocolate gravy Christmas morning. We use my grandmother’s cookie cutter and sing Christmas carols. And now your recipe has been added to our traditions. I don’t know how many years we have been using this recipe, but it is a staple in our holiday. THANK YOU! The dough is quick to put together, very easy to roll out, holds the shape well and stays soft for so long!

In reply to Mandie.

Hi Mandie! Yes, these cookies freeze great. And in fact, I have! This recipe right here is the same exact dough (albeit a half batch), but with ginger in place of the nutmeg: https://foxeslovelemons.com/candied-meyer-lemon-cookies/.

They were delicious with ginger. I think any of the spices you’ve mentioned would work great, although even though nutmeg to ginger was a 1:1 swap as far as amount, I’m not sure for the others you’ve mentioned. Allspice may be overwhelming in an equal amount? Pumpkin pie spice may not be strong enough? That part, I’m not sure about. Please let me know what you end up trying. Happy Baking!

Can you freeze these cookies to decorate at a later date? Also, my daughter detests nutmeg. Have you tried any other spices such as allspice, ginger or pumpkin spice?

LOL, I’ve made these for years and we lovingly call them “Fat Cookies” because of all the butter and sour cream….not to mention the cream cheese frosting I use!

In reply to Carol. "Abuse the last half to be brown and crispy." I LOLed, Carol, but I know exactly what you mean. These cookies have to be watched like a hawk, and honestly, pulled before you *think* they are done, to main their fluffiness and softness. Good luck this year :)

My mom also made sour cream & nutmeg cut out Christmas cookies and so I have never been a fan of other regular old sugar cookie recipes either. I’m not sure if this is exactly what our recipe was but it’s close enough for me. And I’m not sure what we did to ours growing up but think we added too much flour, rolled too thin or always over baked due to distracted cooking, but ours were thin and sometimes crispy which now I associated with a proper cookie. my family likes fluffier so I’ll start with properly dealt with dough and then abuse the last half to be brown and crispy. Can’t wait.

We must have grown up around the same time- I remember the cookie! I asked my mother for the recipe and she some how lost the recipe along the way. Well, I just made the dought and can’t wait to make them to bring back a childhood memory. Thank you for sharing!
