Steps:
- Pulse butter and sugar in a food processor until well combined and smooth. Add 2 egg yolks and pulse to combine. Add flour and pulse until dough comes together. On a lightly floured surface, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in top third. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cutter, cut out rounds; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Reroll scraps once and cut out more rounds, if desired. Using the tines of a fork, press to create a crosshatch pattern. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together remaining egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water; use to brush tops and sides of cookies. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely.

ALMOND BRETON BISCUITS
I saw this recipe in the BH&G 2008 Christmas Cookie Book and it reminds me of a cookie that my cousin 'Kristy' the baker in Campbell, Ohio made for many years. As a little girl I would visit the bakery and he would give me a little bag and let me 'pick' what I wanted. The cookies in the case looked like 'jewels' because he used all different colors of sugar and they were lined up like a rainbow! Imagine doing that 50 years ago, wow, it brought back so many memories. I'm not sure if this is the same recipe, I tried for many years to get him to share the recipe with no luck, he passed years ago. His recipe had a tiny dollop of raspberry filling in an indentation in the center of the cookie.......boy would I love to have gotten that recipe!!! He also used colored non-pariels but 'Zaar would'nt allow that ingredient.

BRETON BISCUITS
These shortbread-like cookies hail from Brittany, a region of France renowned for its delicious butter. Be sure not to underbake them or they will not be crisp enough. Scoring the lattice pattern on the top takes a bit of time, but it's easy to do and the end result is well worth the effort.

Steps:
- Sift both flours, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed until doubled in volume and pale yellow, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the butter in four parts, beating until completely combined after each, 1 to 2 minutes total. With the mixer on low speed, add flour mixture, beating until combined.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half, and flatten into disks; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F, with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Generously dust a large piece of parchment paper with flour. Place one disk of dough in the center, and roll out to slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. To prevent sticking while rolling, occasionally run a large offset spatula under dough, and add more flour to the top or bottom. Transfer parchment and dough to a baking sheet; chill until firm, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining disk. (You can stack sheets of dough in the freezer.)
- Remove one sheet of dough and parchment from the freezer, and transfer to a clean work surface. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and place about 1 1/2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Gather the scraps; roll out again and cut out more rounds. In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush over tops of rounds. Let stand 5 minutes and brush again. Using a paring knife, score each round in a shallow lattice pattern, making sure not to cut all the way through the dough. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are amber on top and deeply golden around the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Transfer parchment and cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- After each round of dough is brushed with egg wash, a sharp paring knife is used to score a decorative diamond pattern on the top.
