Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/4 cup colored sugar (optional)
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a log. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie.
- If desired, sprinkle the cookies with ground almonds and colored sugar for decoration.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious sandtarts!
