I really like the St Michel La Grande Galette butter cookies from Costco, and they’re probably cheaper to buy than make yourself but hey this is worth a shot right?
Ingredients
Method
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, salt, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks while mixing. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
- Add 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Pour in the flour mixture and mix until incorporated.
- Roll the dough into a log. Wrap in parchment paper or plastic, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. A good way from preventing it from flattening on the bottom and to get a nice shape is to put it in an empty towel roll.
- Once the dough is chilled sprinkle sanding sugar on a clean surface (optional). Unwrap the dough and roll in the sugar.
- Use a sharp knife to cut dough into slices of even thickness.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until the edge is JUST turning golden brown.
- For a crisper cookie leave the baking sheet in the oven, turned off and the door cracked slightly open after baking. This will help dehydrate the cookies further to that butter cookie out of the tin crunch.
