  1. Marbled Greeting Cookies Recipe photo by Taste of Home In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, sour cream and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

  2. Divide dough into thirds. Tint one portion red and one portion green; leave one portion plain. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
