Sugar Cookies

Place flour and butter in a bowl of a food processor. Process until butter is coarse; add sugar and a pinch of salt and process again. Do not overprocess the mixture. With the motor running, add the egg yolk mixture and process until pastry forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll pastry out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment (baking paper). Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden. Cool and store in an airtight container. Serve with coffee, ice cream, or mascarpone and berries. If desired, when serving, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Will keep in an airtight container for 4 days.
