Category: Cookies

3 cups flour
1 cup confectioners sugar
16 tbsp cold unsalted butter
1/2 tsp kosher salt
4 large egg yolks
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Sanding sugar for decorating

In a bowl of food processor, pulse flour, confectioners sugar, butter and salt until mixture resembles coarse meal.

In small bowl, lightly beat egg yolks and vanilla. Add to food processor and beat just until dough forms.

Divide in half. Form into two 2-inch logs. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours).

Preheat oven to 350. Slice dough 1/4 inch chick and transfer slices to baking sheets (sprayed with nonstick spray). Brush with egg wash, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until wedges are firm (not brown), 10 to 15 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to wire rack.
