storage container<\/a> at room temperature for up to four days. A piece of waxed paper or parchment between each layer will prevent the cookies from sticking to each other, but keep in mind that the frosting may still smudge.<\/p>\nCan you freeze sour cream cookies?<\/h2>\n Yes, you can freeze these cookies! Freezing before frosting makes them easier to store, but you can certainly freeze frosted cookies as well. Place the cookies in an airtight container (layering waxed paper or parchment in between the cookie stacks) and store them in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge or at room temperature until defrosted.<\/p>\n

Use a generous portion of baking soda and powder. Refridgeration is not needed before baking if all of the flour mixture is added at once. Must double or triple the icing recipe to get the generous portions shown in model picture. Otherwise fast & easy to make.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"11\/02\/2010 18:28","GUID":"757dc271935b48c69acba5af39e4a6ce","MemberId":4231446,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"SKTerpstra","SubmittedDate":"11\/02\/2010 18:28"},{"Comment":"
These cookies (when made correctly) are delicious and addicting!!! I had to substitute the shortening with butter, because I didn't have any on hand.

VERY GOOD. I ADDED 1 TSP. NUTMEG. I<\/p>

These were good, but the frosting didn't work at all. At first it was solidifying before I could spread it and after adding the water, it was soupier than a glaze.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"04\/30\/2010 21:46","GUID":"a3796589752e49c6a1eb880850019c1e","MemberId":1807985,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"keverwann","SubmittedDate":"04\/30\/2010 21:46"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"01\/29\/2010 15:53","GUID":"f0d2b517a60f4b149b46ce91b1c2a442","MemberId":1671534,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"FriedaG","SubmittedDate":"01\/29\/2010 15:53"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"11\/15\/2009 12:49","GUID":"eb7e2dcc5a6d4e709ea75ea85110691e","MemberId":4587830,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"barrand","SubmittedDate":"11\/15\/2009 12:49"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
