1. Step1
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mace. Beat until combined, scraping bowl. Beat in egg yolk, sour cream and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill or 2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. Step2
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough at a time to 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch thickness. Cover and chill the remaining half of dough. Using a 1- to 2-inch cookie cutter, cut into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the second half of dough.
3. Step3
   Bake 1-inch cookies 5 to 6 minutes or 2-inch cookies 7 to 8 minutes, or until edges are firm and bottoms are very lightly browned. Cool cookies on wire rack.
