Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are in the oven right now.  I discovered that I had 2 cartons of sour cream in the frig after I bought more.  So I found a recipe for sour cream cookies at Allrecipes.  http://allrecipes.com/  I've doubled the batch and did some of my usual variations on the original recipe. This is a moist cookie and the dough will be very sticky.  I store with wax paper between the layers so they don't stick together.
