Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla and mix for 30 seconds.
- Add the flour and salt and mix for an additional 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed to make sure everything is fully incorporated.
- Divide the dough in half and shape into two 2-inch diameter logs about 1 foot long each and roll up in parchment paper and chill for 1 hour.
- Remove from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the dough and slice into even ½-inch thick slices and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are just turning golden brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy.
Notes
- It’s very important that this dough chills for at least 1 hour but it can be chilled for up to 48 hours in advance.
- The dough can be frozen by wrapping in parchment and placing in the refrigerator then removing the parchment and wrapping in plastic wrap and then placing in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. After freezing, let the dough thaw in the refrigerator for several hours or about 1 hour on the counter just until soft enough to slice then bake as directed.
- Cookies should be consumed within 5 days and stored in an airtight container.You can freeze full cooked or decorated cookies in an airtight freezer bag for up to 3 months. Make sure to squeeze out any excess air.
