Ingredients

• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 2 sticks margarine
• 1 cup powdered sugar and more for dusting
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sour cream
• 1 tbsp mayo
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup raspberry jam

Instructions

1. 1

   Cream the butter, margarine, and sugars. Add the eggs, sour cream, mayo, vanilla extract, salt, and mix over medium speed until combined.

2. 2

   Dissolve the lemon juice with soda and add it to the creamed mixture.

3. 3

   Add 4 cups of flour and mix over low-speed until flour is well incorporated. The batter will be slightly tacky, yet creamy.

   Place some batter into a piping bag and with a star tip, spritz out the batter into flowers, swirling and overlapping to form a flower shape.

5. 5

   Using a smaller tip, squeeze out some jam in the center of each flower, slightly pressing down into each flower.

6. 6

   Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 min. Or until medium brown. Dust with powdered sugar once cooled and serve.
