Sour Cream Cookies with Mangoes and Pistachios

By: 👩‍🦳 Linda · Published: 🖨 April 13, 2011 · Updated: 💻December 19, 2019 · 🗨 50 Comments

Recipe ▼

Sour cream cookies are chewy cookies. They are more like small scones with a cake-like texture. They tend to be a little puffy when baked and are a slightly soft to the touch. Plain sour cream cookies are delicious on their own but I like to add some dried fruits and nuts to mine. These cookies are excellent for a mid-morning or afternoon snack.

I always have a variety of nuts and dried fruits in my pantry for my bread making. The pistachios needed to be used and so I decided to pair it with dried mangoes. They go quite well together and I love the color contrast, giving these pale colored cookies an almost festive look.

    Biren-I love these unique and delicious cookies. Love the addition of the sour cream, and the dried mangoes.
    I would love to try this recipe, but the problem is I have not seen dried mangoes in our supermarkets…probably Williams Sonoma would carry it.
    Thanks for sharing:DDD

    Hi Biren! I didn’t know sour cream makes cookies chewy. I get to learn a lot when I come here, seriously. Haa….. so envious you have these for your morning tea! Such a nice life… Just kidding. I really wish I can bake something like this so I get to eat, otherwise I will never get eat!!! Thanks for sharing. I’ll keep this recipe in my folder (and so far I’m just accumulating your baking recipes haha).

    I have never had sour cream cookies before but this looks like a very nice recipe for the kids to do tomorrow (school holiday over here). However, I don’t think I will get to put in any pistachios or mangoes into the dough – my kids will have nicked and eaten them all first! They are so quick and they love pistachios and dried mangoes very much. I seldom buy pistachios because they are so expensive and my kids have big eyes and tums….

    Wow, what a fantastic idea…I love the combination of dried mango and pistachios, and sour cream adds such depth of richness and tang. I usually dislike cookies bc they are so sweet, but these actually sound perfect!

      I think you will like these Sophia as they are not too sweet. I normally use only about a quarter to a third of a cup of sugar for my cookies. Sometimes I do go up to half a cup but no more. For those who prefer sweeter cookies, they can definitely add more sugar.

      These cookies are soft and chewy, a cross between a scone and cake. The dried mango bits in them are a treat! 🙂

      Hi Soh! I am glad that you are back to try another recipe. 🙂 The pistachios should be toasted before being added to the cookie dough. However, since the cookies are a little soft, the pistachios may not remain crisp for long. Still I hope you all enjoyed the cookies. 🙂
