Notes

Chocolate chips: I like to use semisweet, but you can also use milk chocolate, or a combination of both. 
Pro Tip: For the prettiest cookies, I like to reserve about 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and gently press them into the tops of the cookie dough mounds before baking. 
Add cinnamon: Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a fun and festive flavor. 
For the sour cream: For best results, use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt.
