Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups sugar
- 16 oz sour cream
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup honey
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 pasteurized egg whites for glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar for glaze
Instructions
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks with sugar with whisk attachment until they're well combined.
- Whisk in the sour cream, mayonnaise, and honey until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
- In small portions, add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don't fret if the dough is sticky — it should be! Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Using a spoon, portion out individual pieces of dough. With wet hands, shape the dough mounds into balls.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven and bring to room temperature.
- Using a stand mixer, beat the egg whites and powdered sugar until you achieve a thick glaze.
- Using a pastry brush, glaze the tops of the cookies and let them completely dry at room temperature. Turn the cookies over and apply the same glaze to the bottoms. Repeat the process. Serve and enjoy!
