    List of Ingredients




    Soft Christmas Cookie

    2 c (1 lb, 4 sticks) butter
    2 c (1 lb.) sugar
    7 large egg yolks
    1 egg white
    1/2 c. sour cream
    8 c cake flour
    1/2 tsp. baking powder

    Do not double this recipe.

    Cream the butter until very light. Add sugar; cream butter and
    sugar until combined. Add egg yolks and sour cream and beat until
    combined.

    Slowly add flour and baking powder . Mix on low speed until dough
    is uniform. Refrigerate until cold (about one or two hours).

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out some dough to about 3/8 of
    an inch thick. Refrigerate remaining dough. Cut cookies and place
    on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with egg white or beaten whole
    egg. Bake 15 minutes until golden; watch carefully!

    Notes: If you use jumbo eggs or are baking in a hot, humid kitchen,
    reduce yolks to 6.

    A stand mixer works best. Most hand mixers don't have the power to
    work with this much cookie dough. If using a hand mixer, add the
    last bit of flour by hand.
