Step 1

Use high-quality all-purpose flour. Choose a large, grade A egg. Melt and cool the butter in advance. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix sour cream and baking powder. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes. You can use any fat percentage sour cream (e.g., 15%). If you prefer, substitute baking powder with baking soda, since sour cream is acidic.

Step 4

Pour in the melted butter and mix.

Step 5

Gradually add sifted flour, mixing with a spoon until the dough forms.

Step 6

The dough should be thick and not runny. If it's too soft, add a bit more flour.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a large “closed star” nozzle.

Step 8

Pipe 2–2.5 inch (5–6 cm) long cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes. Baking time depends on your oven and preference. Don’t let them burn underneath.
