You guys know I am a huge chocolate chip cookie girl. Of course I have my favorite recipe that I feel can’t be beat. But that doesn’t stop me from trying new and different ways to enjoy the classic. And really any day when you’re having homemade chocolate chip cookies is a good day. Today I decided to give the classic a twist by adding in sour cream in place of some of the butter that I would typically use. What I got was a super soft cookie that baked up perfectly! It was such an easy switch out that actually produces a cookie that’s a little lighter in calories if you use a light sour cream! I have tried this recipe with whole fat sour cream as well as light sour cream and I really couldn’t tell the difference! Also, please note that these cookies will bake up a little cakier if you leave them in the oven long enough. Of course I prefer a chewier cookie, so I took them out of the oven when they were still an eensy bit soft still in the center. Also notice the gorgeous, super melty chocolate chips that I used in these cookies are Callebaut. They are incredibly creamy chocolate chips that make your cookie extra special. I’m a huge fan. Anyhow, back to the sour cream in this recipe… it doesn’t make the cookie taste like sour cream, so don’t worry about that. It just adds a soft and unique texture! And they stay softer for a longer…so if they’re still around on day 3 you won’t have hard cookies! And when you use sour cream in the cookie you don’t’ have to chill the dough before you bake them up! That’s a win for sure!
