Ingredients

18 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup Saint Agur blue cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 egg yolks, at room temperature

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

With an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat together butter and cheese until they are completely blended, about 1 minute. Add sugar and salt to the butter and cheese, beating just until they are well mixed and creamy, about one minute longer. Do not overbeat. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating each just until completely mixed in. Stop beating once you have a cohesive batter. Stir in flour with a rubber spatula, stirring just until there is no dry flour left. The dough should be sandy but form a ball when pressed. Roll into a 2-inch thick log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerator for 4 hours. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick cookies and place them 1-inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake until the edges are light brown, about 18 minutes.
