Method

1. Cream together softened butter², half the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt.

2. Mix in the egg yolk, then fold in the flour to form a smooth shortbread dough.

3. Roll the dough to 5mm thickness, cut out rounds, and place on a baking sheet.

4. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10–12 minutes until the bottoms are pale golden.

5. Whisk powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk⁸ into a thick dark glaze; set aside a small batch of white glaze (powdered sugar + milk).

6. Spread cooled cookies with dark glaze, then pipe thin white rings and use a toothpick to draw spokes from the center outward.

7. Let the cookies rest 20 minutes for the glaze to set.
