Step by Step Instructions
Step 1

Step 2
To make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, 170 grams of cane sugar, vanilla extract, and mix on low until combined and there are no chunks of butter. Add the eggs and mix just slightly, enough to break the yolks.

Step 3
Using your hands form a large log out of the cookie dough and flatten slightly so it’s about 1-inch thick, it should be about 12 x 3 inches. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of cane sugar on top of the log.

Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. (If you're baking at high altitude, be sure to check the Notes at the bottom of the recipe for high altitude baking instructions).
