Yes, I’m still here. Life has been very outlandish lately. I am down here in bright, sunny Miami once again! Mr. Wishes has been summoned down here again for work and I am definitely enjoying the temporary relocation! The only negative aspect of living down here is not having free reign to internet anytime that I want. So thank you for your patience as I have been a major blog slacker lately.
Trust me when I say that this recipe was worth your wait. Do you want to make the softest cookies in the world? Well look no further – I have here a recipe for brown sugar cookies topped with delicious browned butter frosting that will blow your socks off. I definitely think the sour cream is the trick to the softness of these cookies. They have a very cake-like texture that closely resemble the softness of the pumpkin butterscotch cookies I made last fall, which I loved!
Do yourself a favor and make these for your family…or your friends…or just make them for someone. I could seriously eat the entire batch by myself.
Sugar cookies are the key to living a happy life…I’m sure of it 
And cheers!– to you for following along with this old blog, despite my severe slacking.

I love brown sugar cookies, regular sugar cookies to me are just so blah. Yours look absolutely delicious!
Thanks for the comment!
Of all the places to relocate, Miami definitely sounds like it would be a good time! These sugar cookies look amazing and I don’t think I’d want to share them =)
Yeah, could be worse places to be than Miami!

I keep looking for a good sugar cookie recipe. I’ll have to try these because they look delicious!
Thanks, Janet! I think you will love them!
I don’t think I’ve ever used sour cream in a cookie recipe before. I use it all the time in cake and muffin recipes so it’s really a no brainer for cookies as well. They look delicious! I love a soft cookie too!
Thanks for the comment, Annie! I wasn’t sure about the sour cream but I definitely think it worked well!
These look delicious! Definitely need to bake some of these. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Mark! I hope you enjoy them
I love how simple these are. They look awesome!
They are so good! Thanks for commenting, Kaitlin!
Super awesome! I just made one change: I subbed in a cup of vanilla chobani for the sour cream. I still kept the vanilla extract, as it helped balance the tangier flavor of the yogurt. I also skipped the frosting because the cookies were so good. These are great and easy cookies. We even gave a bunch to our neighbors, and they loved them too.
Aww thanks so much for the nice comment! I definitely agree that these cookies don’t even need frosting. They are good on their own
I love anything that uses browned butter! I bet these cookies are great!
Me, too! What is it about the flavor of browned butter?!
