I used to make this [Ice box cookie] type cookies when I was a child. We'd use every bit of dough and use lots of butter. Even as a child I could always make it quite deliciously.

At Step 4, mix until it becomes like the flour and butter have blended well and made a marble-like texture. Using powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar will make the cookie more crispy and slightly sweeter. Make sure not to add too much red food coloring. For 5 cm [2.0 in] in diameter 18 pieces.

Steps

1

Whisk the butter into the cream. Then add sugar and mix. Next, add the egg yolk and mix.
2

Sift white flour in and mix.
3

When the dough looks crumbly like the picture, add the red food coloring by dissolving in 1/4 teaspoon of water and mixing quickly.
4

Take the dough out and place on plastic wrap and form it into a clump. If you knead too much, it will become a dough which is just pink, so be careful.
5

Try not to create air pockets and shape it into a rod. Wrap with plastic wrap and let is sit in the refrigerator as long as possible. At least more than two hours.
6

At Step 5, if you use a bamboo sushi mat to shape it, it will be a beautiful cylindrical shape.
7

Once it hardens, lightly wet the outside and sprinkle lots of granulated sugar so that it sticks.
8

Slice the dough into about 1cm thickness. After slicing the dough, further press the granulated sugar into the outside edges of the cookies.
9

Bake for 15 minutes in a 180°C preheated oven.
10

Cool it on a cake cooler so as not to let water form at the bottom.
11

It looks cute even with a simple wrapping. Using pink food coloring or a natural colorant will also give it a lovely color.
