Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, sugar, and egg yolk until fluffy. Add all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and water; beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface, flatten until 1⁄4 inch thick, and cut out cookies using a 1 3⁄4-inch-star or circle cutter. Transfer the cookies to baking sheets. Combine turbinado sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle cookies with cinnamon-sugar, and bake until golden on the bottom, about 12 minutes.
