2 cups unsalted butter, softened (Kerry Irish Gold)
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.
With an electric mixer (even the hand-held kind), cream together the butter and the sugar.
Add egg yolks and vanilla and mix well.
Sift flour and salt together, shaking back and forth in a fine sieve.
Beat into the butter mixture until well-mixed.
When ready to bake, use an ungreased cookie sheet and place the cookies 1 inch apart.
Bake for about 10 minutes and DO NOT BROWN THEM.
Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet while still warm and cool on sheets of waxed paper.
Decorate if you like:
Shape dough into a roll the width of a cookie.
Wrap in waved paper and chill.
Before baking, roll in chocolate shots.
Slice 1/2 inch thick and bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350\u00b0 for 10 minutes. Do Not Brown.
