Sour cream chocolate chip sponge cookies

Rather; sour cream chocolate chip sponge cookies, at least that's how the person who made them said it, with an emphasis on sponge.

Relax, I will explain. It seems like a long time ago now, but once we had an extravaganza in creative writing. Not a party, but an extravaganza, because parties in school aren't allowed but apparently there's no rule against extravaganzas. Anyway, someone brought in these magical cookies that were so good I can still taste them if I concentrate. Sort of. They were really soft and chewy and you couldn't taste the sour cream which I guess is a good thing.

Unfortunately, I don't know the person who made them very well and I don't see this person very often, so therefore I can't ask for the recipe. Though I just remembered I did see and talk to this person at set strike last week. But I guess I wasn't thinking of cookies then.

So I've been left to search the world wide web for similar cookies. Here's one recipe from allrecipes.com:

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (actually, probably more than 1 cup...)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil or baking parchment.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs and sour cream until well blended. Sift together flour and baking soda; stir into the butter mixture. Mix in  chocolate. Drop dough by tablespoons 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, until lightly colored. Let cool on wire racks.

They look good but I admit I haven't tried them yet. I will soon, I promise!

Oh yes. That's just how they looked! They're kind of thin and cakey and delicious!
