Can I substitute the Yogurt with sour cream do you think?
Yes… yogurt will totally work too! I would probably use low-fat greek yogurt (if you have it) since it’s a little thicker consistency than regular yogurt. They’ll be delightful with any dairy substitute 🙂
Yes… you totally can! They’ll be amazing 🙂
I love to bake
That’s so awesome… I love baking too!! Happy Holiday 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
