Navettes Sucres(Sugar Shuttles) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 egg yolks

Preparation

Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl.
Add butter, egg yolks and vanilla extract; knead until dough is well-blended.
Chill for 2 hours, then divide the dough into portions the size of a small walnut.
Roll each piece of dough with the palm of your hand on a lightly floured board to give it the shape of a sewing machine shuttle.
Dip each in the egg whites and roll in sugar.
Bake on a lightly buttered baking sheet in a moderate oven (350\u00b0) for about 8 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown.
