Easter Sable Cookies



My mom shared this recipe with me a few years back & said it was the best recipe ever...she was right.  This is a great recipe if you have to make a lot of cookies for an event or something special.  The dough is easy to work with & 1 batch makes over 50 cookies, depending on the cookie cutter you are using.  I made these for Easter this year to pass out in Primary, I just frosted them with royal icing & sanding sugar...Bon Appetite!

3 sticks of unsalted butter
1 1/4 c sugar
4 egg yolks
4 c flour
2 tsp vanilla

Cream butter and sugar together.  Add egg yolks, beat them in lightly.  Add flour 1/3 at a time.  Add vanilla just to incorporate.  Dump out on counter & gather together.  Roll out and cut with cookie cutters, or chill if needed.  (I didn't chill, it still worked great)!
