30 days of Me (Day 27)

Your Day in Great Detail

Lyric woke up with a worse cold than what she had the day before last. I cleaned the living room, and the kitchen. Got the dishes washed and put hamburger soup in the crock pot and had Josh come down for dinner and watched Shutter Island. While dinner was cooking and while we were watching the movie I made a different kind of cookie. Sour Cream Chocolate Drops with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. They turned out great!

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled

1 8-ounce carton dairy sour cream

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 recipe Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add melted chocolate; beat until combined. Beat in sour cream. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.

Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups powered sugar. If necessary, beat in additional half-and-half to make a spreading consistency.
