How to:

Grease several baking sheets with butter or lined paper

Stir flour, salt and sugar in medium size bowl

Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.

Add egg yolks and mix to form a soft dough.

Roll out dough on a floured surface, using a snowflake cookie cutter, cut out the figures.

Place slightly apart

Refrigerate unbaked for 30 minutes
Preheat oven to 350F,

Bake snowflake sables for 15 to 20 min or until light brown.

Remove, when cool, decorate with a pipe and the colored sugar icing and sprinkle sugar crystals and dragees.

If you don´t have a snowflake mold, you can cut circles and if you have a decoration snowflake just push it in order to get the figure in the circle, that´s what I did.
