Sour Cream Cookies

Awaiting Trial Recipe version 1 · Filed by the Court (seed pool) · Filed from the federal original: 'Sour Cream Cookies' in Selections from Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes and USDA Favorites, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Science and Education Administration, Home and Garden Bulletin No. 215, issued August 1976 (in the 'Recipes from 1976' / USDA Favorites section, with servings stated in the original) — a U.S. federal work, public domain. Text read in full at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/65379/old/65379-0.txt (Project Gutenberg eBook #65379). Conversion: the original's 1 3/4 cups flour (219 g) is swapped for a gum-containing gluten-free 1:1 blend at the same weight (USDA basis 125 g/cup). Yield (4 dozen) and time are the original's own. Distinct from the pool's Sugar Cookies (rolled) and Spice Cookies in form and flavoring.

Soft drop cookies with half a cup of sour cream and a full cup of chopped nuts in the dough, flavored with nutmeg. Four dozen, ten to twelve minutes a batch.
