🥣Instructions

• 1. In a food processor, whir the Flour, Sugar, and Salt until mixed. Add the Butter and pulse until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Add the Egg Yolk and pulse until the dough holds together when pinched. Press into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

• 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a baking sheet with Butter.

• 3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, stamp out the dough and transfer to the baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork. Reroll the scraps and cut out more cookies.

• 4. Transfer to the oven and bake the cookies until they are light and brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then using a metal spatula, carefully transfer them to a rack to cool completely. If you like, sprinkle with Sugar before serving.
