Directions:

  2. In large bowl beat butter and sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed, about 2 minutes.
  3. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
  4. Add flour mixture, mixing on low speed just until flour is incorporated and soft, smooth dough forms.
  5. Divide dough into 2 pieces; form each into a log about 7 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  6. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 1 hour until cold and firm, or overnight.
