CUTOUT SUGAR COOKIES
This recipe is adapted from a 1981 Mimi Sheraton recipe for Murbeteig, a pie and sugar-cookie dough from Germany. This buttery cookie isn't too sweet, which makes it an excellent canvas for sugary holiday adornments, like Royal Icing. The dough warms quickly because of the high butter content, so work fast to roll, cut out and transfer the dough to the baking sheets to get the best results.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and butter in a mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using the paddle attachment of the mixer, or a wooden spoon if you are doing this by hand, blend butter and sugar until no granules of sugar show. Lightly stir in salt, egg and vanilla.
- Stir in flour in thirds. Add just enough to make a dough that forms a mass and that is very soft but not sticky. It should be pale yellow in color.
- Gather dough in a ball, wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, and preferably 3 or 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Dust rolling pin and dough with cake flour as needed. Using cookie cutters, make shapes and transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie. The bottoms should be just beginning to turn golden. If they're brown, you've cooked the batch too long.
- Transfer cookies to cooling rack. Let cool completely, then decorate with icing, sprinkles and dusting sugars.

- Place sugar and lemon zest in a food processor and blend for 1 minute. Add flour and salt, process for 10 seconds. Set butter chunks all around the surface of the flour mixture and process for 20 seconds, or until the butter and flour and light and powdery. Add yolks and white wine (or milk), processing for another 45 seconds, until the dough comes together.
- Scoop dough into walnut-sized portions and roll into balls. Use your thumb to push an indentation in each cookie, making sure to not poke through to the bottom. Place the cookies on a plate and freeze for 20 minutes. 45 minutes in the refrigerator will also work.
- Set rack to center of oven. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove cookies from the chiller and bake for 20 minutes, removing them just as they show a hint of browning at the base and edges. Do not over bake! Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then remove to cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Just before serving, spoon jam into the divot on each cookie.
