Frosted Sour Cream Drops

If I had to choose my single favorite cookie in this world, Frosted Sour Cream Drops would be it.

These bad boys are light and fluffy, super soft, and melt right in your mouth.

Mmmmm. So. Good.

It truly would be a disservice if I kept this recipe from you.

As with the Pink Elephant Punch, this delicious cookie could be brought to all types of get-togethers. Simply add a few drops of food dye into the frosting — the possibilities are endless!
