Chocolate chip cookies come in all textures and flavors. Growing up my Grandma Burgie made soft chocolate chippers with a sour cream based dough. They were decidedly different than the chewy chocolate chippers that my mother always baked, but the flavor was addicting. While testing recipes using my timesaving Basic Sugar Cookie Mix, I used sour cream and added chocolate chips. The result was very similar to what I had loved and enjoyed over the years at my Grandma’s house. These Sour Cream Chocolate Chippers have only five ingredients, and a batch can be mixed, baked, and cleaned up in less than an hour.

Once you have the versatile cookie mix on your pantry shelf, the possibilities are endless; you can add different flavors, make drop cookies, make rolled cookies, and easiest of all, make bar cookies. Depending the ingredients, you can make cookies that have different textures – soft, chewy, etc. These Sour Cream Chocolate Chippers aren’t fancy, but they fill up the cookie jar and are very good; those who like soft textured cookies will especially enjoy them.
