Steps:
- In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour and salt; set aside.
- In another large bowl, with electic mixer on medium speed, beat together the butter, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat the molasses and orange zest into the butter mixture until evenly incorporated. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and baking soda until well blended.
- Beat the sour cream mixture into the molasses mixture. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until smooth and well blended.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough until firm enough to handle, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375*. Grease several baking sheets or coat with nonstick spray. Divide the dough in half. Working with one portion at a time and leaving the remaining dough chilled, shape portions of the mixture into generous golf ball sized balls with lightly greased hands.
- Place on baking sheet, spacing about 3 1/2" apart. Using your hard, press down the balls until about 1/2" thick.
- Evenly brush the cookies with the egg yolk mixture, try not to drip on the cookie tray, as the egg will burn on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, in the middle of the over, reversing the sheet from front to back, halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes -- or until browned on top and just beginning to firm up when tapped in the centers; be careful not to overbake.
- Transfer baking sheet to wire rack and let stand until the cookies firm up slightly -- 3-4 minutes.
- Using a spatula, carefully transfer the cookies to wire rack to cool completely -- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze up to one month.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH MOLASSES COOKIES
These come from my mom's side of the family. Since she grew up there among the Amish and Mennonite communities I've always been fascinated with their cuisines. Molasses and gingerbread are two of my favorite flavors for cookies. Cooking time noted is per batch.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH ADVENT COOKIES
Found this recipe on giftsfromyourkitchen.com This is an excellent keeper. There is no milk or eggs in this recipe. The recipe states,"Make these cookies at Thanksgiving or at the end of November. Store for at least 4 to 6 weeks before eating." So I have and they are wonderful. I would never have thought of combining cocoa and molasses since they are both strong, distinct flavors, and yet they go together so well. They are dark and rich cookies. Very pretty with a white piped edging. Hope you enjoy these as much as we have.(Edited: 12/20/08 At the time that this was submitted, I entered the measurements exactly as written forgetting that dry measurements by weight are different than liquid. So I have converted the dry measurements.)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix first six ingredients together.
- Add flour slowly to the rest of the mixture until it reaches the right consistency to roll out. (you may not have to use all the flour).
- The dough should be quite soft and you may want to knead the flour in by hand.
- Roll dough out on floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch and cut into decorative shapes with small cookie cutters, a sharp knife, or the rim of a glass. I have also made "no cut rolled cookies" by rolling into balls and flattening with the bottom of a drinking glass.
- Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven while they are still soft; cool on rack.
- Pack into crocks or jars.
