Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of sour cream to the flour mixture.

Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 3 egg yolks to the mixture.

Cut 10 tablespoons (140 grams) of cold butter into small cubes and add to the mixture.

Mix on the lowest setting until a flaky dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently combine without kneading too much.

Roll out the dough to a thin thickness, using flour to prevent sticking.

Cut out cookies using cookie cutters.

Brush the cookies with whisked egg and sprinkle sugar on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, monitoring to prevent burning.
