Preparation

Step 1

Combine butter, both sugars, and salt in a bowl and beat on medium speed of hand mixer until smooth and evenly combined. Add 2 yolks, and beat until smooth. Add flour, and beat until just combined. Transfer half the dough to a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a 2 ½"-wide cylinder; repeat with remaining half of dough. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. If you'd like, unwrap cylinders and brush with remaining yolk; roll in crystal sugar to coat, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350°. Unwrap cylinders and cut into ⅓"-thick slices; transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets and bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes.
