sparkling sugar in rainbow colours
DIRECTIONS
Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl then beat in the yolks one at a time. Add vanilla to the mixture and stir it. In separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Shape dough into logs about 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap it and keep in the refrigerator until the logs freeze.

Sprinkle sparkling sugars onto the top of dough and gently press down. Let the sugar stick on it. Cut into approximately 3/8-inch-wide slices. Place slices 2 inches apart onto a parchment paper. Bake for approximately 1o minutes in the preheated oven. Check when the edges of cookies start to get a golden brown and then remove to a wire rack and let it completely cool down.
