Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 20 grams turbinado sugar (or granulated sugar for sprinkling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
Use a round cookie cutter (or any desired shape) to cut out the cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each cookie.
Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with turbinado sugar for a delightful crunch and sparkle after baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with tea, coffee, or a tall glass of milk, and enjoy these buttery, crumbly delights!
