Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a mixing bowl cream the butter with sugar for about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add in egg yolk and both extracts; beat until no sugar granules remain.
Step 3
Beat in vanilla pudding mix until combined.
Step 4
In a small bowl combine the flour with baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and beat until combined (the mixture will be dry and slightly crumbly).
Step 5
Remove the dough to a surface and gently knead the dough until it comes together (this will take only a few seconds).
Step 6
Divide the dough into two even pieces then shape into logs.
Step 7
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate until hard (about 4 or more hours).
Step 8
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Position oven rack to second-lowest position.
Step 9
Slice first log into slightly over 1/4-inch thickness. Coat each slice in sugar. Place onto a greased baking sheet/s.
Step 10
Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until light golden brown.
Step 11
Allow to sit and harden slightly in the pan before removing (the cookies will harden upon sitting in the pan).
Step 12
You can continue the same procedure with the second log or wrap tightly in foil and freeze for another time
