Serves: 4 to 5 dozen
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- coarse sparkling sugar
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Beat in the yolks one at a time.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- In separate bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Mix flour mixture into the creamed mixture.
- Shape dough into logs about 1 and ½ inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Unwrap rolls. Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes if refrigerated, longer if frozen.
- Sprinkle sparkling sugars into top of dough and gently press down. If sugars aren't sticking, allow dough to sit out a bit longer.
- Cut into approximately ⅜ inch wide slices.
- Place slices 2 inches apart onto parchment paper or silicone baking sheet lined cookie sheets. (Ungreased will work as well.)
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven or until edges just barely start to brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in air tight container.
Makes approximately 4 to 5 dozen cookies, depending upon how thick you slice or how wide your logs.
