Yield Makes about 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 fresh (moist) vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg yolk
Special Equipment
a 2-inch cookie cutter (we used a fluted diamond-shaped one)

Steps:

  • Make vanilla sugar:
  • Scrape vanilla seeds from pod with tip of a knife into confectioners sugar. Halve pods crosswise and bury in sugar. Cover tightly and let stand at least 24 hours and up to 1 month.
  • Make cookies:
  • Discard pods and transfer vanilla sugar to a food processor. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse just until mixture is in pea-size lumps. Add yolk and pulse just until a dough forms. Gather dough into 2 balls, then flatten into 2 (5-inch) disks and chill, each disk wrapped well in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Roll out 1 disk (keep the other chilled) to less than 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Cut out shapes with floured cookie cutter and chill scraps. Arrange cookies 1/2 inch apart on a buttered large baking sheet. Make more cookies with remaining dough, rerolling scraps (but only once).
  • Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

I was disappointed with these thins. They were very dry and crumbly. I also found them to be a bit too sweet. I think they would be better with less sugar and more vanilla extract.

These thins are a nice, simple snack. They're not too sweet and have a nice crunch. I like that they're made with whole wheat flour, which makes them a bit healthier than traditional cookies. However, I found them to be a bit dry. I think they would

I thought these thins were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either. I found them to be a bit bland and lacking in flavor. I think they could use a little more sugar or vanilla extract.

These thins are terrible! They're dry, crumbly, and have no flavor. I would not recommend them to anyone.
