Sugar Shuttles

Category: Desserts, Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup soft butter 2 egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla egg white granulated sugar

Directions:

Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add soft butter, egg yolks, and vanilla and knead until the dough is well blended. Chill it in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Divide the dough into portions the size of a small walnut. Roll each piece of dough with the palm of the hand on a lightly floured board to give it the shape of a small sewing-machine shuttle. Dip each in egg white and roll in granulated sugar. Bake on a lightly buttered baking sheet in a moderate oven (350° F.) for about 8 minutes, or until the little cookies are lightly browned.
