Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
Preparation
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add vanilla and egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and salt; beat until just coming together but still crumbly.
Divide dough in half. Use immediately, or wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
