I fought long and hard to get this recipe. (Thanks Sue, from over 30 years ago.) It’s an old Czech recipe and there is a bit of ‘art’ in getting them right.
Here’s the deal. They are probably not like any cookie you have tried to make. They are a cake cookie, all soft and almost melty.
The secret is the sour cream. The dough will be VERY soft when you mix and in order to even be able to work with it, you will need to put it in the frig.
Here are the ingredients:
1 cup Butter softened, no substitute
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
2 1/2 cups Flour
3 tablespoon Flour
