Personal Notes:
I made these cookies when I was a little girl with my nana every Christmas and I continued making the Sour Cream Cookies with my children every year. At this time, I can say I have been making them for more than 40 years.

I haven't made the Butterscotch Drops as much but they are still a childhood favorite of mine.
