Navettes Sucrees

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

Preparation

Step 1

Sift flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add 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.
