Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 egg white
• 2 tablespoons sour cream

Preparation

Combine flour and baking soda. Set aside.
Beat butter and sugar until blended. Add egg yolks, egg white and sour cream. Beat until smooth.
Beat in flour mixture until dough just comes together. Form into 2 disks, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 350°. Roll out one disk on liberally floured wax paper with a floured rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 21/2-inch star cutter, cut out star shapes and place on a wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with second disk. Gather up scraps, form into a disk and refrigerate.
Bake 10 minutes per batch, until lightly golden. Slide cookies onto a cooling rack and cool.
Re-roll scraps, cut out additional stars and bake.
Please note: We’ve printed the recipe as it appeared in the Family Circle Presidential bake-off but do NOT recommend baking on wax paper. We recommend using parchment paper instead.
