One half cup Butter; softened
One half cup Sugar
1 Egg yolk

Cream the butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat thoroughly.
Combine flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture and blend until the dough

cylinders about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic

refrigerated logs with beaten egg and roll in crystalline sugar. With a
sharp knife, slice the dough into rounds about 1/3inch thick. Place 1inch
apart on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or
until the cookies are slightly colored around the edges. Yield:
approximately 4 dozen Sables
