Coming from a small town just a little north of Pittsburgh, we are known for our grand cookie tables at weddings. These little gems are the star of the show! They may take a little time but well worth the effort.

Y'all, we see why these are the star of the cookie table! Wow, they're good. The delicate cookie is flaky, yet soft. The smooth, creamy filling has just the right balance of sweet and buttery flavor. These cookies melt in your mouth and keep you coming back for more. So good.

For the dough: Cut oleo into flour and sugar mixture. Add egg yolks and sour cream.
