1. 1

   In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until it is smooth.

2. 2

   Add the sifted powdered sugar and beat again until the mixture is smooth and silky.

3. 3

   Beat in 1 yolk, followed by the salt, vanilla and zest.

4. 4

   Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour, beating just until it disappears.

5. 5

   Working on a smooth surface, form each piece of dough into a log that is about 1 to 11/4 inches thick.

6. 6

   Wrap the logs in plastic and chill for 2 hours.

7. 7

   Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

8. 8

   While the oven is preheating, whisk the remaining egg yolk in a small bowl until it is smooth and liquid enough to use as a glaze.

9. 9

   Spread the sugar out on a piece of wax paper.

10. 10

    Remove the logs of dough from the refrigerator, unwrap them, and brush them lightly with a little egg yolk.

11. 11

    Roll the logs in the sugar, pressing the sugar gently to get it to stick if necessary, then, using a sharp slender knife, slice each log into cookies about 1/4 inch thick.

12. 12

    Place the cookies on the lined baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch space between them.

13. 13

    Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are set but not browned.
