Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups flour (will vary in dough modifications)
- 16 tbsp (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup xylitol
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla extract.
Procedure:
Cream the butter and the Xylitol and honey together. Mix in the egg yolks one at a time. Then, mix in the vanilla extract. Add the flour to the mixture and mix just until a dough forms and no flour streaks remain. Split the dough in half. Place each half on a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log, wrapping each log in the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Once the dough is firm, remove from the refrigerator. Slice 1/4″ thick slices from the dough logs and place the cookies onto the baking sheets. Chill cookie slices for 10 minutes. Place in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes, then move the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
