Beat the egg yolk
and milk in a small bowl until frothy. Stir together the
flour, sugar, butter, and salt in a medium bowl.
Use a wooden spoon to stir in the beaten egg mixture
until well blended. Press the dough into a disk,
wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30
minutes.
Preheat the oven
to 400°F/200°C/gas 6.
Butter a
cookie sheet. Roll out the dough on a lightly
floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Use a 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutter to cut out the
cookies. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and
continue cutting out cookies until all the dough is
used.
Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the
prepared cookie sheet, placing them 1 inch (2.5 cm)
apart.
Bake for 5-8
minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on the sheet
until the cookies firm slightly. Transfer to a
rack and let cool completely.
