Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/gas 5. Butter two cookie sheets. Sift the all-Purpose and semolina flours and salt into a medium bowl.  

2. Beat the butter and 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until creamy.

3. Mix in the dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.

4. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (5 mm). Use a 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.

5. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting out cookies until all the dough is used.

6. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheets, placing them 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until just golden. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Cool the cookies completely on the sheets.
