2. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. 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.

7. If desired, sprinkle the cookies with ground almonds and colored sugar for decoration.
8. 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.
9. Serve and enjoy these delicious sandtarts!
