- Stir in the melted chocolate, food coloring, and sour cream to the mixing bowl. Then slowly add the sifted contents from the first bowl. This works best adding half at a time and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Bake these for 10-12 minutes (please note that these cookies should not harden in the oven and may even appear to be a bit underdone when they are ready, look for a ‘springback effect’ when poked ). Allow these cookies to cool on the sheet (5-7 minutes) before transferring to rack. For best results bake these cookies one sheet at a time in order to bake in the middle of the oven for circulation.
