• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1.5 Cups all-purpose flour

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla, and salt. Gradually mix in the flour.
