Equipment

  • Lined sheet pan
  • Stand mixer with paddle attachment
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie/Biscuit cutter
  • Cling film

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • cup butter unsalted, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp salt kosher
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg yolks

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl combine and mix the salt and flour.
  • In a stand mixer, on medium speed, beat butter until smooth only a minute or two. Add the sugars until just combined. Add the egg and egg yolks until they are just mixed in.
  • Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture and mix until everything is just incorporated. Pour onto cling film and cover with another piece of cling film. Shape into a disk and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or gas mark 4.
  • Remove the disk from the refrigerator and roll out to desired thickness no thicker than ¼" . By using cling film or parchment paper to roll out the dough you can reuse the scraps without changing the texture of the dough. Refrigerate or freeze for a few minutes to let the dough firm up. If the dough was refrigerated overnight allow to sit for about 5 minutes before rolling as it will be quite hard.
  • Cut out the cookies in the desired shape and place onto the lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies should remain pale in color or with just a hint of brown on the edges.
  • Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remainder of the dough.
