In this post, I’ll show you the secret of how to prepare these sensational cinnamon sugar walnut cookies and why they should be on your next cookie baking agenda.
Why These Sour Cream Cookies Are the Perfect Treat (Plus, They’re Healthy!)
Besides being incredibly scrumptious, these cinnamon sugar walnut cookies are better for your health, especially if you are monitoring your cholesterol levels. They avoid artery-clogging shortening and butter in this recipe and opt for canola oil that is lower in saturated fats, but high in monosaturated fats.
These are also sodium-free cookies. Believe it or not, I discovered that eliminating salt in most cookies, pies and cakes hardly matters for what those baked goods taste like.
Another reason this recipe for these walnut cookies with sour cream is outstanding is because also has less sugar than a lot of other cookies, which is better for your waistline. A lower calorie cookie means you don’t have to feel as guilty savoring that crunchy cookie with nuts.
Ease of preparation is another important quality about this recipe to love. Instead of following countless steps and procedures, you’ll just be chopping the nuts and mixing the ingredients together before rolling the dough into small balls to roll into the cinnamon sugar topping.
Still, there is more to love about these nutty cookies. These sour cream cookies freeze well without crumbling even when you just throw them in a zip-lock freezer bag. This means that you can make them ahead and always have a constant supply in the freezer for when your sweet tooth demands attention or when unexpected company arrives.

1 teaspoon of baking powder, leveled
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, leveled
3/4 cup of sugar
½ cups of canola oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
½ cups of sour cream
½ cups of walnuts, chopped
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
To Make the Crisp Sour Cream Walnut Cookie Dough:
- Sift together in a large mixing bowl: the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Stir in the sugar, oil, egg, and sour cream. Cream those ingredients just a bit to incorporate with the dry ingredients.

- Use about a teaspoon of dough per cookie and roll into small balls in the palm of your hand.
- Deposit each dough ball into the cinnamon sugar topping to coat.
To Make the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl or plate and roll each cookie in it.
- Transfer the finished cookies to well-greased cookie sheet and bake in a 375-degree oven for about 9 to 12 minutes, depending on how your oven is regulated or the size of the cookies you form. These cookies should be slightly golden brown at the bottom.
