Sour cream cookies with nuts and raisins are a cozy treat from Russian home cooking. Its history traces back to the traditions of using sour cream in baking, creating a soft, tender texture with a slight tanginess. By adding aromatic vanilla, nuts, and sweet raisins to the dough, an amazing combination of flavors emerges: creamy tenderness, nutty crunch, and fruity sweetness. These cookies are perfect with tea or coffee, and their roll shape makes them convenient for serving. It's important to follow the preparation steps—chilling the dough gives the products ideal density while whipped egg whites create airiness. Baked to a golden color, they fill the home with warmth and coziness. Such cookies are not just a sweet treat but a piece of home comfort that evokes pleasant memories and creates a special mood.
