I got this from the new Martha magazine, but I changed some things.
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
3 sticks butter, at room temperature
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp ground cinnamon mixed with 4 tsp sugar
Wreath disk and cookie press
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Whisk flour, salt, and cinnamon.
Mix sugar, vanilla, and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Add flower and beat until combined.
Divide dough into 3 portions. Fill press with dough. Press cookies onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake until barely golden, about 9-12 minutes. Immediately sprinkle cookies with cinnamon sugar. Let cool for a few minutes and then carefully transfer to newspaper. (I prefer newspaper over racks because firstly it's recycling, and secondly there is less breakage. Just be careful not to choose a section with color ink.)
Repeat with remaining dough.
Cookies can be stored up to one week. Or frozen between wax paper sheets in an air tight container for about a month.
