Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
These cookies are a soft and cake-like, not too sweet, drop sugar cookie. These are very easy to do, with no rolling or cutting.

- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheets.
Sift dry ingredients together; set aside.

Uniform Sizes
The best size ice cream scoops to use for drop cookie dough are # 80 or # 90. Scoop the dough out of the bowl with the scoop, pressing the dough firmly into the scoop. Release it onto the prepared cookie sheet. Each cookie will be uniform in size and texture because they will bake at the same rate.
