Learn How it Works...
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 drops yellow food color
2 to 3 drops red food color

STEP 1
Combine 1 cup sugar and butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add sour cream, egg, orange zest, vanilla and orange extract; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2
Divide dough into thirds. Stir yellow food color into one-third of dough. Stir red food color into second third. Wrap each third in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4
Spoon 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces from half of each color of dough randomly onto lightly floured surface (keeping remaining dough refrigerated). Press colors together to form circle. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 2 to 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough.
