Equipment
- Lined sheet pan
- Stand mixer with paddle attachment
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie/Biscuit cutter
- Cling film
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ 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.
