Ingredients

46 egg yolks
3 pints sour cream
6 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons salt
2 cups butter
26 cups all-purpose flour
5 cups shortening
1 cup confectioners’ sugar for decoration

Instructions

In a capacious bowl, meticulously combine all the ingredients until they form a cohesive ball.

Transfer this ball onto a generously floured surface and engage in kneading for approximately 30 minutes.

If employing a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, efficiently mix for about 15 minutes.

After kneading, allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, granting it time to relax.

On a well-floured surface, skillfully roll out the dough to achieve a thickness ranging from 1/4 to 1/8 inch.

With precision, cut it into uniform strips measuring 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width.

At the center of each strip, make a lengthwise slit of 1 inch.

Demonstrating dexterity, pull one end of the strip through the slit, forming an elegant bow shape.

In a suitable frying pan or electric skillet, carefully melt the shortening and meticulously heat it to approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

For a frying pan, this corresponds to medium-high heat.

Gently place the cookies into the hot oil and attentively cook both sides until they acquire a light golden brown hue.

As soon as they attain the desired color, promptly remove them to a paper towel-lined surface to drain excess oil.

To enhance their visual appeal, dust the finished cookies generously with confectioners’ sugar.
