INGREDIENTS:

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
1 egg white, beaten until stiff (to achieve this, you need to start with the egg at room temperature, it will not form peaks while cool)

1 cup softened butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream together butter, sugars, egg yolk, and sour milk.

2. Mix dry ingredients and then mix into creamed butter mixture.

3. Fold stiffened egg white into batter.

4. Drop batter onto cookie sheets 1 inch apart.  Sprinkle with additional sugar or cinnamon-sugar if desired.
