Directions

Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt butter in a small saucepan. Cook until brown over medium low heat (5-6 minutes). Allow to cool slightly. Discard any solids at the bottom of the pan.

Combine all dry ingredients; flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

Using a mixer, combine butter, sugar and vanilla. Add yolks and mix again. Incorporate the flour into the mix.

Turn mixture out onto a sheet of wax paper. Roll out to ¼ inch thickness and cut with desired shape. Re-roll dough and continue cutting shapes.

Bake cookies in batches for 10 minutes. Cool the cookies on the tray then transfer to cooling rack and cool completely. Once cookies are completely cooled, prepare the sugar glaze.

Sugar Glaze:
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, half and half and vanilla. Spoon glaze onto each cookie and sprinkle with nonpareils or sprinkling sugars. Dry glazed cookies on wire racks before storing in airtight container.
