Method:

1. Sift the flour and arrowroot into a large bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

2. Stir in the sugar. Add the egg and egg yolk to form a stiff dough. Press the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C/gas 7. Butter two cookie sheets. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch (5 mm).

4. 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.

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